Swiss Miss hot chocolate mix has a unique, rich, chocolatey flavor and is a perfect ingredient for this brownie recipe. This brownie recipe calls for Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix in the place of sugar and cocoa and creates the ideal brownie for a cold winter night.
I took my classic brownie recipe and replaced the unsweetened cocoa and the sugar with Swiss Miss hot cocoa. The hot cocoa mix makes these brownies creamy, fudgy, and chocolatey. These are perfect for watching Christmas movies and enjoying after a day of sledding in the snow, and can also be the perfect treat to leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve!
What is Swiss Miss?
Swiss Miss is an instant hot chocolate mix brand introduced in 1948 by the Carnation Company. The popularity of Swiss chocolate inspired the brand. Swiss Miss is a classic American brand with a distinct taste. When I think of Hot Cocoa, I immediately think of the flavor of Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix.
