Mike and Jen's Hot Cocoa Our company was started in 2012 with my kids, Mike and Jen. My name is Dean Packingham, and I am a proud dad to two cocoa-loving kids, Mike and Jen. Acesulfame?
(53)

Raising a family in Duluth, Minnesota, I always kept a giant tub of big-brand cocoa handy for any occasion. One cold evening in 2012, I started reading the label on the back of the container. Dipotassium Phosphate? Polysorbate? What are all these chemicals? The scientist in me kicked in and I told the kids that we were going to start making our own mix and it will be, “the best Hot Cocoa in the en

tire world!”

The rest of that winter, and well into spring, I tracked down 65 cocoa powders from all over the world. It became a family goal. After refining our SIMPLE 5 INGREDIENT MIX, we started giving it to family and friends. Before we knew it, stores were asking to sell it, and in a flash we found ourselves here today. Although this company was made with my kids Mike and Jen, drinking it makes us all kids again. Mike and Jen’s is The taste that takes you back. www.mikeandjens.com

‘Twas just before Christmas...

And the snow was falling fast. Dean Packingham’s daughter, Jen, swept into the family kitchen, pressing the back door closed against the blowing, blustery weather. Soaked in snow, she shivered, asking, “Please father, won’t you make me a cup of hot cocoa?”

It was a common scene in Dean’s kitchen all winter long. He kept a giant tub of big-brand cocoa handy for just such an occasion. But this evening was different than all the others. For, as the water warmed in the kettle, he turned his gaze to that big brand cocoa, and the label on the back.

And, lo, what he discovered set him to shivering, too.

Dipotassium Phosphate? Acesulfame Potassium? Polysorbate 60? What was this chemical-stuffed concoction? It certainly didn’t seem, to Dean, like cocoa.
