🥡 Storage

Hot cocoa dip tastes great at room temperature or chilled! You can store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.

If you want to make your dip ahead of time to prep for a party, you can make it a day in advance. Store it in the fridge and top it with your favorite toppings right before serving.
