Total Time5 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

Instructions 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients– milk powder, cacao powder, sugar, and salt. If adding chopped chocolate or chocolate chips, 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 marshmallows, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if you’d like, and enjoy!
