Notes

Notes and Tips-
You can make this the day before and store it in a Quart size mason jar. When ready to serve, pour in to a saucepan or microwave safe bowl and reheat.

This recipe was made with whole milk but you can substitute for low fat or skim milk for a lighter version.

If you don’t have loose cocoa, you can use 1 tablespoon of cocoa from the cocoa packets. Store the remaining unused cocoa in a small container to reuse to make this again.

Pour 1/2 cup of coffee to a 1/2 cup of the Hot Caramel Cocoa for a Caramel Coffee.
