Decadent Hot Cocoa Mix

This month, at my Investment Cooking Class, we will be making Decadent Hot Cocoa. It is a super simple dry mix that can be made up ahead of time and kept in the panty. Or, you can pack it into a pretty jar, tie a bow around it and give it as a gift. This recipe would be perfect for teachers, neighbors, or for stocking stuffers. Enjoy!
