A mug of hot cocoa makes a welcome finish to a cold afternoon. Ethereal Confections makes cocoa mixes and chocolate, starting its chocolate work with the cacao bean.

The maker works by hand in small batches with small equipment. Its cocoa mixes include Original and Salted Caramel varieties.

Stir a mix into hot milk when you want a quick cup. Set it beside a plate of cookies or enjoy it on its own after dinner.
