What can I do with extra cocoa powder?

Question by ky_school_teacher: What can I do with extra cocoa powder?
I bought a box of cocoa powder and had some. What can I do with the extra? I do buy chocolate milk mix and hot chocolate mix, so if you have a recipe I can use to make those, I would appreciate it!
