Perfect! I was craving hot cocoa at 10 pm and only needed one cup. I don't bother buying those instant cocoa packets because I just don't like them... this was just what I needed :)

This was a fast and easy way to make hot cocoa for one person. It is by far the tastiest I've had. This is as easy as opening a package mix, but a much better taste!

I fixed this drink for my grandson and he wanted more. I run out of cocoa and we used Nestle Semi- Sweet Chocolade. He likes it better.

old fashion cocoa

catherine olson from ROCKY RIVER, OH

This cocoa is just like the cocoa my grandmother used to make me. She would only use the best of ingredients for us. Now my teenagers enjoy this recipe with thier friends at Christmas during thier annual caroling party. It keeps the kids coming back (and I get to know what they are thinking and doing)!

This was very good. I made 5 times the recipe and then made up single mugs with the dry ingredents for gifts. Just add milk was very easy. Great gifts.

Jayna Hamons from LORENA, TX

This was way too easy to taste so good. I will never buy those instant mixes again! Excellent!
loved it

Kim Langel from IA

My daughter loves hot chocolate and this was an awesome single serve drink - thanks!
cocoa for keeps!

Robin Helms from Splendora, TX

My family lives for cocoa in the cooler months. This is the perfect recipe for us! On hand ingredients means I don't have to worry about having instant cocoa on hand. And I know EXACTLY what my kids are drinking - no hidden ingredients. And the taste...soooo rich and chocolatey. I'll never go back to store bought! And so easy to make that my daughter can make her own :)
Quick as a mix

TaQuilla Smith from NEWPORT NEWS, VA

The best part about this cocoa is that it takes about as much time as a mix, and much tastier. I like to try out different extract flavors to give it a new taste every time (i.e. 1/4 tsp of peppermint, or almond, or 1/8 tsp almond, 1/8tsp vanilla, etc.).
kids approved

Wanda Sproat from Belton, MO

My kids (4 and 6) and very picky about the kind of chocolate milk I make them. They will only drink it a certain way. When I made this chocolate milk they loved it. In fact they had it drank in a matter of minutes. They did not put the cup down until the drink was gone. Thanks..Wanda
Making the Cocoa a little more adult!

jennifer swisstack from WINFIELD PARK, NJ

I always like to curl up with cocoa..and what a great quick recipe. I've discoverd to make it a more "adult" treat, you can splash a little bailys,kaluah or mudslide liquor on top as an added treat!

More chocolate flavor

rita wieland from HAMPTON, GA

I like to add 6 - 10 semisweet chocolate chips to the hot chocolate before microwaving.
Just had to try

wendy hutton from Abbeville, LA

I found your web-site last night. I didn't realize what I'd been missing! I just had to try one of the recipes, so I picked this. Even though it was around 65 degrees outside, not exactly hot cocoa weather, it hit the spot! This is great anytime!

JIM APLIN from ORLANDO, FL

With cool weather here I needed something hot to warm me up! This did the trick & I was able to take it with me. I like the idea of using milk & not having to wait for water to boil.
