Homemade Cinnamon Hot Chocolate Mix

Spice up your hot chocolate with a little cinnamon! Here is a homemade version for you to try.

Homemade Cinnamon Hot Chocolate Mix


Every winter I whip up a new hot chocolate mix. This year I decided to try two kinds, white hot chocolate pods and now cinnamon mix. This version was made on the fly while my parents were in town for my graduation. We were getting ready to go to a drive-thru Christmas light show and I realized I didn’t have any hot chocolate mix to prepare and bring for the show. So I pulled up my favorite mix recipe and added cinnamon. If you haven’t had cinnamon and chocolate together before, you’re missing out!
