Hot Chocolate Mix | Big Batch Recipe

This easy-to-make hot chocolate mix is delicious and creamy, made with healthy ingredients, and makes the best hot chocolate you’ll ever have!
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups whole milk powder
  • 2 cups cacao powder or cocoa powder
  • 2 cups coconut sugar or maple sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Optional:
  • 1 cup finely chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
  • 1/2-3/4 cup collagen peptides or protein powder

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients– milk powder, cacao powder, sugar, and salt. If adding chopped chocolate/chocolate chips or collagen/protein powder do so now. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  2. Transfer the mix to a ½ gallon mason jar or air-tight container, sealing the lid tightly.
  3. Store the hot chocolate mix in your pantry or a cool, dry place for 6-12 months. You can also freeze the hot chocolate mix in an airtight freezer bag for 18-24 months.

Notes

To Serve: Mix 2-3 tablespoons of the hot chocolate mix with 8 ounces of steamy hot milk, and stir until smooth! You can substitute with water– however it won’t come out as creamy! Top with homemade marshmallows, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if you’d like, and enjoy!
