Dark Chocolate Peppermint. Dairy-Free. Still Rich.
Rich black cocoa meets real crushed candy cane for that classic dark-chocolate-and-peppermint combo, minus the dairy. It's the holiday mug that tastes like it came from somewhere fancier than your own pantry.

How to Make
Stir 3-4 tablespoons of mix into hot water or your favorite dairy-free milk until fully dissolved. Want it sweeter? Stir in a teaspoon of sugar or honey. Want it extra rich? Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed candy cane.
Microwave method: Add the mix and hot water or milk to a microwave-safe mug, then microwave in short intervals, stirring between each, until it's as hot as you like.
Stir. Sip. Avoid the mall Santa line entirely.
FAQ
Do I need a machine?
Nope. A mug, a spoon and hot water (or the microwave) are all you need.
Water or milk?
Either works. Water keeps it simple and dairy-free; your favorite dairy-free milk makes it creamier if that's what you're after.
Does it have caffeine?
Only the trace amount naturally found in cocoa. There's no coffee in this one.
How many servings are in a bag?
An 8 oz bag makes approximately 5-6 cups at 3-4 tablespoons each. Use less mix for a lighter cup, more for an extra rich one.
Can I make this iced?
It's built to shine hot — the peppermint and dark chocolate come through best that way. You're welcome to try it cold, but expect a thinner, less rich result.
Is this actually dairy-free?
Yes. The mix itself contains no dairy ingredients. Prepare it with water or a dairy-free milk to keep the whole cup dairy-free, and check your own toppings if you add whipped cream.
