— November 10, 2020 — Lifestyle
Duncan Hines and Swiss Miss are offering a new way for hot chocolate lovers to appreciate one of the most comforting flavors of the fall and winter season with its new Hot Cocoa Cake Mix. The rich cocoa cake can be prepared by adding a few fresh ingredients like eggs, water and oil.

To top the cocoa-flavored cake off, hot chocolate lovers will want to spread on a layer of the new Duncan Hines Swiss Miss Creamy Hot Cocoa Frosting and a handful of marshmallows.

This year, as people have brushed up their skills in the kitchen as a result of more time spent at home, this festive treat has the potential to inspire new holiday traditions at home.
