For my tastes this recipe has way too much sugar in it, especially if one is going to sprinkle it on top of ice cream or whipped cream, which already has plenty of sugar in it.
After trying this recipe I decided to go in the opposite direction, sugar-wise, but started with smaller portions overall just to keep the test batch small in case I didn't like it:
2 tsp cocoa powder
1 1/3 tsp sugar
1/3 tsp cinnamon
I sprinkled the above (not all of it, just a few dashes) on a scoop of unflavored whey protein powder in 8 oz 1% milk and shook it all up really good in my blender bottle.
I liked it enough to leave it be (I am sure not many people would find this sweet enough), but I feel I would enjoy a little more cinnamon - maybe between 1/2 tsp - 2/3 tsp - and also perhaps raising the amount of sugar to 1 1/2 - 2 tsp. At the very most I would not exceed a 1:1 ratio of sugar to the other two ingredients combined. That's just my preference and opinion though.

I am trying to duplicate Trader Joe’s cocoa cinnamon sugar recipe in which they add nutmeg and sea salt. Any idea how much I should add to your recipe?

I haven't yet tried Trader Joe's cocoa-cinnamon sugar recipe, I would have to try it to be sure. Let me know if you try it and how it works out! Thank you for your question.
