Ingredients

CORE HOT COCOA MIX

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered milk I recommend whole powdered milk as opposed to non-fat
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder I prefer dark, but regular is just as delicious
  • 1/3 cup powdered coffee creamer

ADD-INS

  • 1 cup dark chocolate mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add powdered sugar, powdered milk, cocoa powder, and powdered creamer.  Whisk well to combine and remove any possible lumps. 
  • Transfer to an airtight container.
  • Top with chocolate chips, then marshmallows. Store at room temperature for up to 3-6 months.

TO MAKE HOT CHOCOLATE

  • Add 1/2 cup of powdered mix to a mug, and top with any desired amount of chocolate chips and/or marshmallows. Top with 1 cup (8oz) of hot milk and stir until well combined and smooth.
  • Top with additional marshmallows if desired.

Notes

  1. Recipe makes approximately 4 cups of powdered mix.  6 cups total if adding the add-ins to the container.
  2. The amount of servings this makes will depend on how much of the mix is used for each serving.  If following the 1/2 cup guideline listed in the recipe, you have 8 servings.
