Moonstruck Mint Hot Cocoa Mix — 9.5oz Reusable Tin, Dairy-Free UTZ-Certified

Moonstruck Chocolate Mint Hot Cocoa Mix is a dairy-free, all-natural cocoa powder in a reusable 9.5oz tin that makes about eight 8oz cups of mint-flavored hot chocolate.

Rich chocolate meets bright peppermint in this single 9.5oz tin from Moonstruck Chocolate, handcrafted in Portland, OR. The mix is formulated to dissolve in hot (not boiling) milk or water, delivering a creamy, mint-forward cup without dairy. Packaged in a decorative, reusable tin and made with UTZ-certified cocoa, this cocoa blend targets flavor, sustainability, and versatility for home beverage lovers.

How do I prepare a perfect cup of this mint hot cocoa?

Making a cup takes only a few steps: measure, heat, stir, and sip. Use 4 tablespoons of mix per 8oz of hot (not boiling) milk or water, stir until smooth, and adjust sweetness or intensity to taste.

• Suggested ratio: 4 tbsp mix to 8oz hot milk or water.
• Heat liquid to steaming but not boiling to preserve flavor.
• Whisk briefly for a frothier texture or microwave for a quick finish.
• Top with dairy-free whipped cream or a sprig of mint for garnish.

What makes this Moonstruck cocoa different from other mixes?

This mix emphasizes natural ingredients and a dairy-free formulation while using UTZ-certified cocoa, reflecting Moonstruck’s Portland-based chocolate heritage. The peppermint note is balanced so it complements—rather than overpowers—the chocolate base, creating a refined, dessert-style hot drink.

• All-natural ingredient list for cleaner labeling and simpler flavors.
• Dairy-free recipe suitable for lactose-intolerant or vegan-friendly diets.
• UTZ-certified cocoa supports sustainable farming practices.
• Handcrafted brand heritage from Moonstruck in Portland since 1993.

How long does the cocoa stay fresh and what is the tin used for?

The sealed tin preserves flavor and keeps the powder dry; stored in a cool, dry place it maintains quality for months once unopened. After the cocoa is finished, the decorative tin is reusable for storage, crafts, or as a keepsake, extending the product’s life beyond the mix itself.

• Sealed packaging protects from moisture and odors.
• Reusable tin useful as a storage container or desk organizer.
• Compact 9.5oz size fits pantry shelves or gift baskets.
• Perfect for gifting during holidays or seasonal occasions.

Can I customize the recipe for different dietary needs or flavor preferences?

Yes—this mix blends well with a variety of plant milks and can be sweetened or enriched to suit tastes. Swap cow’s milk for almond, oat, or soy milk for a creamier vegan cup, or add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to deepen the flavor.

• Use almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk for dairy-free creaminess.
• Add sweeteners like maple syrup or agave for refined-sugar-free options.
• Layer in spices or extracts (vanilla, cinnamon) for flavor tweaks.
• Blend with ice for a chilled mint-chocolate frappé variation.

Who is this for? Moonstruck Chocolate Mint Hot Cocoa Mix suits anyone who enjoys a polished, mint-chocolate hot drink without dairy—home cooks looking for an easy specialty beverage, gift-givers seeking an attractive pantry present, and eco-conscious shoppers who value UTZ-certified cocoa and reusable packaging.
