Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix

There are plenty of good hot chocolate mixes out there. But after many cups of them, I finally found the world's best homemade hot chocolate recipe. It's perfect for making on cold nights and for giving to others. I found it in the Feb/March 2007 edition of Cook's Country.

Best-Ever Hot Cocoa Mix
(makes 20 servings)
3 c. nonfat dry milk
2 c. confectioners' (powdered) sugar
1 1/2 c. Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 1/2 c. white chocolate chips
1/4 tsp. salt

Mix ingredients in a large bowl. Pulverize half of the recipe in a food processor or blender. (The goal is to finely grind the white chocolate chips, which is harder than you think.) Then, process the other half. Store in an airtight container for three months.

To make hot cocoa: Warm 1 c. milk. Add 1/3 c. hot cocoa mix. Stir well.

  1. Oh yummy! Thank you!! I'm a new follower. I really dislike going to the grocery store and looking at all the gross ingredients (high fructose corn syrup) in the hot chocolate mixes.

  2. That looks great! The best about this recipe, to me anyways, is that it doesn't call for nondairy creamer. Most homemade recipes call for a LOT of that stuff, and it kind of freaks me out to drink that much. :-P I'll definitely be trying out this recipe!
