Instructions

  1. Put water in drip coffee maker.
  2. Put ground coffee in filter in coffee maker. Push button. Let drip.
  3. Meanwhile, in an 18-to-20-ounce travel mug, pour in 1 packet of Swiss Miss No-Sugar-Added cocoa.
  4. If you have a sweet tooth, squeeze about 1 tablespoon of Smuckers Caramel ice cream topping (count of 5) on top of cocoa. Otherwise, add about 1/2 tablespoon of the caramel topping (count of 3).
  5. (Optional:) Add a splash of fat-free half-and-half on top of the caramel topping. It was approximately 1 teaspoon. This is optional; it makes the coffee taste richer.
  6. Add a tiny amount of hazelnut or vanilla flavored sugar syrup. I measured this to be about 1/4 teaspoon. Don't overdo it, it's better as a mysterious accent.
  7. Pour in prepared coffee. Stir well with knife to make sure all the cocoa mix has dissolved.
  8. (Optional:) Top with whipped cream if you don't put the lid on and you want to impress.
