Notes
- This recipe makes one cup of hot chocolate.
- Microwave heating times will vary. Start with1 minute and if you prefer it hotter, microwave for an additional 30 seconds in 15 second increments to keep it from boiling over. Trust me, I learned this the hard way.
- For best results I do not recommend saving cooked leftover hot chocolate or freezing it. Leftover Starbucks hot cocoa mix can be stored in the pantry in an airtight container.
- For large gatherings make in a crock pot increasing the measurements in equal parts as the recipe above.
