As long as you keep it in a cool, dark place, this mix should last the whole winter. That is if you don’t run out before then.

We like to add marshmallows, red hots, chocolate sprinkles, confectioners sugar, cocoa powder or any other goodie that strikes our fancy at the time. Anything goes with this easy mix.
