Cozy up to Gourmet Hot Cocoa

Wind & Willow Hot Cocoa Mixes have great clean ingredient labels, rich luxurious flavors, and eye catching packaging. Each box contains a resealable pouch which makes 4 servings of Hot Cocoa (use 2 Tablespoons of the mix for a single serving). Combine with milk (or plant milk alternative) and microwave or heat on the stove top.

Each of the six flavors are unique and so delicious! The four traditional chocolate flavors include Original, Raspberry, Salted Caramel, and Cafe Mocha. For a seasonal twist, try one of the white chocolate flavors. Pumpkin Spice White Chocolate tastes like fall in a cup, while White Chocolate Peppermint would clearly be Santa’s favorite drink!

The beautiful, cozy packaging makes these mixes perfect for gifting. We can already imagine all of the cocoa, coffee, and holiday themed baskets.
