FAQs

What type of cocoa powder is used to make hot cocoa dip?

You want to be sure to use unsweetened cocoa. I recommend Hershey’s brand and make sure that it is NOT Dutch-processed cocoa.

How do you store this dip?

Store it covered in plastic wrap or in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can even freeze the dip.
