A cup of hot cocoa feels like cozy hug. Everything from the warmth of the mug in your hands, to the welcoming aroma of the rich, delicious chocolate, to the delicate sweetness in every sip, evokes that feeling of being comfy during the height of winter.

Unlike other, overly sweet cocoa mixes we’ve encountered, Trader Joe’s Organic Hot Cocoa Mix strikes a careful balance between sweet and chocolatey, and carries it all with a delectably smooth mouthfeel. It’s made with all-organic ingredients, and includes dried organic milk, so that all that’s needed on your end is hot water. We find that the best water-to-mix ratio for a full-flavored cup of Cocoa is eight ounces hot water per one envelope of Mix, and we especially like it when it’s topped with a handful of TJ's Mini Marshmallows or a dollop of whipped cream.
