Homemade Hot Chocolate

Add to favorites

Next time you have an urge for a warm, chocolaty drink, rather than reaching for a packet of processed hot cocoa mix, make your own hot chocolate from a few simple ingredients. 


Quality ingredients will make a difference in this homemade hot chocolate. Try raw cacao powder, which comes from cold-pressing cocoa beans, or an organic cocoa powder. Also, real maple syrup contains more than 50 compounds beneficial to your health, including anti-inflammatory compounds that can help fight cancer, diabetes, and bacterial illnesses.
