You have to follow the recipe as it is, but add the hot cocoa before any wet ingredients so as to not need to add more if the batter becomes too powdery. Cook batter in Waffle iron until crispy, waffles will be colored the Nestle Hot Cocoa Mix's color, so just make sure there is no raw batter on the edges and it will come out perfect, and it will taste just like freshly made Hot Cocoa!
