Why You'll Love This Recipe
Bone Broth: The base of this Bone Broth Hot Cocoa is bone broth! So there’s no dairy in this recipe and you’ll reap the benefits of bone broth while enjoying a nostalgic and cozy drink! I use Kettle & Fire Beef Bone Broth (use code MIMIBAKESCOOKIES for 20% off!) for this as I feel their beef bone broth is very neutral flavor (compared to their chicken) so it works best.
Maple Syrup: I use maple syrup instead of sugar in this recipe. But you don’t even miss the sugar! This lightly sweetened hot chocolate is just sweet enough, and I kid you not – this tastes just like Swiss Miss!
Healthy Option: This is an incredibly healthy option for hot chocolate! I drink bone broth every day, in some way. And I have been loving this way to enjoy all the benefits of bone broth! Plus, I literally cannot stress this enough how much this tastes like Swiss Miss. I haven’t had Swiss Miss in I can’t even tell you how long, but it’s what I had growing up and that flavor is so nostalgic. Delaney and I both looked at each other and said Swiss Miss right when we tried this, so if you feel nostalgia for Swiss Miss, but don’t want to consume those ingredients, then this Bone Broth Hot Cocoa is it!

Tips
- I use Kettle & Fire Beef Bone Broth for this recipe (use code MIMIBAKESCOOKIES for 20% off your order). I find their beef bone broth has a more neutral flavor and their chicken one has more spice. I prefer drinking the chicken one alone and I like to use the beef one in recipes like this where I want to change the flavor.
- I use maple syrup in this recipe as I thought the flavor would pair really well with the bone broth! If you want to use sugar, you can do that as well.
- I use Dutch cocoa powder which is sweeter than natural cocoa powder. If you only have natural cocoa powder and would like to use that, then you may just want to add a bit more maple syrup to your liking.
FAQ's
Yes, if you want to use chicken bone broth you definitely can! I prefer the beef in this recipe as I believe it has a more neutral flavor and the chicken has a more savory flavor. At least this is true of the kind I buy, Kettle & Fire!
