How do you prepare this hot chocolate?

Heat milk or water, add the mix, and stir until fully dissolved. You can adjust the amount of mix to make it richer or lighter depending on your preference.

Does this work with non-dairy milk?

Yes, the mix dissolves in oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, and other plant-based alternatives as well as dairy milk or hot water.

No. Because it's made from bean-to-bar chocolate rather than sweetened cocoa powder, it has a darker, less sugary profile than most commercial hot chocolate mixes.

Peppermint Hot Chocolate Mix from Dandelion Chocolate

Most hot chocolate mixes start with alkalized cocoa powder and lean heavily on sugar to carry flavor. This one uses actual bean-to-bar chocolate from a maker who roasts cacao in small batches, so the drink tastes darker and more complex—closer to melted chocolate than to powder. The peppermint addition feels deliberate rather than candy-sweet, and the large format makes sense if you drink hot chocolate more than once a season. It's the choice when you want a warm drink that reflects how the chocolate was made, not just what it's flavored with.

The details

This hot chocolate mix combines Dandelion Chocolate's bean-to-bar drinking chocolate with peppermint for a seasonal twist on a classic warm drink. The large canister holds enough mix for multiple servings, letting you prepare individual cups as you want them.

The base is made from cacao beans that Dandelion sources and roasts in small batches, then grinds into drinking chocolate. Peppermint flavor balances the chocolate's natural richness without overwhelming it. You add hot milk or water and stir until dissolved, adjusting strength to preference.

The mix works equally well with dairy milk, oat milk, or other alternatives. Because the chocolate comes from beans rather than cocoa powder blends, the flavor profile reflects the cacao's origin and Dandelion's roasting decisions. The peppermint component adds a cooling contrast that works year-round but feels especially suited to cold weather.

The canister is resealable and stores at room temperature. Each serving delivers a warm drink that tastes noticeably different from mass-market mixes—darker, less sweet, with complexity that comes from starting with whole beans rather than processed powder.
