Can this be heated? I know the high speed blender will get it warm, but I like it warmer than warm 😉
Hello Gery! Sure feel free to heat the Hot Cocoa as you desire. Enjoy!
Great, thank you! Sometimes heating changes things so I wanted to check.
Happy Holidays!
I love this hot cocoa. It is so delicious!
Hello Judy! So glad you enjoyed the Hot Cocoa! 🙂
I shall try this with carob tonight. My husband has been asking for hot cocoa, and my Vitamix will heat it nicely.
Hey Judy! Carob sounds yummy! It will add a little bit more sweetness too. Let us know how it comes out.
Does this brand of vanilla have any dextrose in it? I see the Watson brand has Dextrose and want to avoid it. Thank you.
Hello Laurie! This brand only has one ingredient, vanilla bean powder.
