Cocoa Powder
Posted in Natural Care by admin
What can I do with extra cocoa powder?
I bought a box of cocoa powder and had some. What can I do with the extra? I do buy chocolate milk mix and hot chocolate mix, so if you have a recipe I can use to make those, I would appreciate it!
~*~ Here are a couple of our favorites! My youngest son, a Marine stationed in Iraq, was thrilled to get a taste of home in his gift box I sent to him! I added a few more that we intend to try. Enjoy!
HOT COCOA MIX

1 c. cocoa powder, unsweetened
