Notes

This recipe easily doubles to make four servings in a 2 quart pot (4 tablespoons of hot cocoa mix is equivalent to 1/4 cup). Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave with a splash of milk to make the oatmeal creamy again. Actual calories may vary depending on the toppings you use.
