Everyone loves a good cup of hot chocolate, and most people aren't going to go out and buy one. With store bought mixes available 24/7, they are definitely the way to go. For this entry, I'm going to tell you the best mixes to buy!
My favorite brand is probably Land O' Lakes. It comes in a wide variety of flavors: white chocolate, mint chocolate, milk or dark chocolate, etc. There is a lot of powder in the bag, so you can make a big cup or a smaller one that is extra chocolatey. I would recommend the mint chocolate!
Next, everyone knows the classic Nestle brand. It doesn't come with a lot of flavoring in the package, so you have to use 1 and a half packages if you want a nice, strong flavor. However, it is a nice, cheap way to get hot chocolate.
I would reccomend staying away from hot chocolate that comes pre-packaged with marshmallows already in it. They are typically small and stale, so you should add your own mini marshmallows. Add the marshmallows in the bottom, and then add the water so it's frothy. Also, if you want a creamy drink try using milk instead!
