Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix recipe – a handful of ingredients mixed in a blender make this homemade hot chocolate mix irresistible! Our whole family loves it!
Use it to make my Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate for a real treat!
HOMEMADE HOT CHOCOLATE MIX
Forget the store-bought packets and make this quick and easy hot chocolate mix right in your kitchen! The homemade mix is so much better and quite fun to make. After the success of my Homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer, I wanted to make a hot cocoa mix for the whole family. All you need to make this sweet mix is milk powder or coffee creamer, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, cocoa and salt. Store it in a tall jar and use when the craving for a hot mug of cocoa strikes.
Hot Chocolate Mix Ingredients:
- milk powder or powdered coffee creamer
- powdered sugar
- white and semi-sweet chocolate chips
- cocoa powder
- salt
HOW TO MAKE HOT CHOCOLATE MIX?
- Place all ingredients in blender.
- Blend until it has a texture of fine powder.
- Transfer into a tall jar with lid.
- Use 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mix with 8 to 10 ounces of milk or water.

I’m loving this blog. Was hoping to find your peppermint marshmallow recipe. Is it on here?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Cassie! I used this recipe and added crushed peppermint candy on top just before setting: https://www.crunchycreamysweet.com/homemade-marshmallows/ Hope it helps!
Brianna Hartman says
Can this recipe be made in a food processor or another blender, or does it have to be this specific blender? I don’t have this blender specifically, but the recipe looks so much better than what I’m making now!
CrunchyCreamySw says
Hi Brianna! You do not need this specific blender to make this mix. Try your blender or food processor. Just make sure not to mix it too long, or the heated blades will start to melt the chocolate. Thanks!

Recipe sounds divine, blender is amazing but a bit more than I need unless I baked and cooked as much as you ! Have you already posted a recipe for the marshmallows? I have just started a new obsession with them after seeing the Marshmallow Fairy website. OMG!!

Whaaa? A blender with touch screen sensors? That’s crazy! Also, I love that this cocoa mix actually uses real chocolate along with cocoa powder. I could go for a cup right now!

How much mix would you suggest using to make a cup of hot chocolate?
