- ½ cup (59 g) regular unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
Hot Cocoa Mix
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered milk confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, cornstarch, and kosher salt.
- Whisk all ingredients together until well blended.
- Transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.*
To Make a Cup of Hot Cocoa
- Measure ¼ cup of the hot cocoa mix into a glass mug.
- Pour 1 cup of hot water or milk over the mix. Stir until the powder has dissolved and is smooth.
- Top with mini marshmallows, if desired. (I highly recommend adding marshmallows, especially if using water, as they will add a silky velvet-like quality to the hot cocoa once melted.)
