The Best Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix to Make and Share

Today, however, I’m sharing a new recipe that actually comes from my book, The New Camp Cookbook.

Because it’s intended for camping (or tailgating or cabin trips), you know that it travels well, keeps for a while, and is super easy to make!

Hot chocolate mix is more often purchased than it’s made at home, but once you see how simple it is to put together, you’ll want to have a jar stashed in the kitchen (or your camping bin) at all times.
