Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup chocolate chips white, milk, or semi-sweet chips
- mini marshmallows optional
Instructions
Hot Cocoa Mix
- In a large mixing bowl, sift powdered sugar. Sift instant milk powder on top of powdered sugar.
- Sift cocoa powder on top or milk. Whisk together.
- Whisk in granulated sugar until evenly combined.
- Store in airtight container or jar for up to 6 months
Hot Cocoa
- Add ⅓ cup of mix in a mug.
- Stir in 1 cup warm milk until mixed.
- Garnish with toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Quality matters - Use good quality cocoa powder for best flavor. Full-fat instant milk powder creates creamier results than low-fat.
- Prevent clumps - Measure ingredients before sifting (it changes the volume). Spoon mix in the mug first, then add warm liquid.
- Choose your liquid - Hot water works, but milk makes creamier, richer hot chocolate.
