First, in your microwave safe mug, add together the cocoa powder, sugar, salt, first bit of milk and coffee. Stir together until it forms somewhat of a thick chocolaty paste. It will take just a couple minutes, so don’t lose patience!
Once you have created your mocha hot chocolate base, fill the rest of the mug with milk, and microwave until hot. I like to do this in minute intervals. This is mostly because while perfecting this hot chocolate recipe, I’ve had many an explosion. Stir in between heating and once it’s heated through, it’s time to enjoy!
For me, I like to move my mocha hot chocolate into a to-go cup at this point. These Dixie® To Go cups are the perfect option. They keep your drink warm while you go, they make your hot chocolate portable and the leak-resistant lid and insulated layer gives you the best on-the-go experience. For this time of year, this is such a better option than a normal coffee mug! Plus, you don’t have to sacrifice those warm fuzzies just because you are on the go: no effort, no clean up, no worries. More time to focus on things that matter. I love that I can continue crush it this Christmas while enjoying my favorite holiday drink.
