About Us

Welcome to April Mae's Sweet Hot Cocoa & More! I am a  very small business since 2019. 

Let me tell you a little about how I got started.

My grandmother inspired me early in life. I watched as my grandmother cooked holiday meals for our huge family, she made so many people happy by bringing them together over food. This core inspiration would carry over into my adult years, as my love for baking grew. I began a decorating business for the holidays and my clients would ask about food items for their parties. I would whip something up and my clients would rave about it! I love to eat, but I and my husband also wanted to get healthy and eat healthy. 

We looked around for healthy drinks like hot cocoa and we could not find any. Most were heavily processed or the recipes you could find on the major pin board site would require you to purchase said processed food. There were healthy alternatives but most tasted like cardboard and we wanted flavor and taste but still be healthy. So, I created our very own proprietary blend of hot cocoa mix. It took me over three years to develop my hot cocoa mix and I made sure I never compromised on flavor, ingredients or taste. All my cocoas come from ecologically sourced and socially responsible harvesting. All of our packaging is being moved to eco friendly bags as I can afford to, which are better for environment. I use all kosher healthy ingredients to make it available to a broader range of people. I do not use anti-caking agents such as corn starch or put other fillers like chocolate chips, marshmallows, mixes or candies into my cocoa mixes. Every order is hand made in small batches and are healthy! The difference and taste is Amazing! 

We wanted comfort food that we could live with, I never thought I could turn this into a business where I have 50+ different flavors of hot cocoa mixes but here I am.
As my online store has started to grow slowly over the last couple of years I have also developed other items using my cocoa mix in it. Come shop our site and see the full range of cocoa flavors we offer along with our other items.
