Hot Cocoa Mix Recipe

Make your own Hot Cocoa Mix for a quick, easy, and customizable hot chocolate experience! This DIY mix is perfect for stocking up or giving as gifts, and it’s easy to prepare whenever you want a comforting mug of cocoa.


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered milk (or instant dry milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

1. Combine the Dry Ingredients:

In a large bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, powdered milk, and salt. Use a whisk to ensure everything is well combined and no lumps remain. If you're adding vanilla powder, stir it in at this stage.

2. Add Marshmallows or Chocolate Chips:

For an extra treat, you can add mini marshmallows or chocolate chips into your mix, which will make it even more indulgent when served.

3. Store the Mix:

Transfer the cocoa mix into an airtight container or jar. Seal it tightly and store it in a cool, dry place. It should stay fresh for up to 6 months.


How to Make Hot Cocoa from the Mix:

  • For one cup of hot cocoa: Add 3 tablespoons of the cocoa mix to a mug.
  • Heat 1 cup of water or milk (for creamier cocoa) until hot, then pour it into the mug with the mix. Stir well until fully dissolved and creamy.
  • Optional: Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra indulgence!

Tips and Variations:

  • Vegan Version: Use non-dairy milk powder (like almond or coconut powder) and dairy-free chocolate chips or marshmallows.
  • Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon, chili powder, or a touch of peppermint extract for a fun twist on the classic hot cocoa.
  • Gift Idea: Pour the cocoa mix into a mason jar, add a ribbon, and a tag with instructions. It's a perfect homemade gift for friends and family!

This Hot Cocoa Mix is a wonderful way to enjoy homemade cocoa with minimal effort—just add liquid and stir. It’s sure to be a cozy treat during the colder months! 🍫🎁
