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
Homemade hot chocolate with mini marshmallows in white mug.

    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!

      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!!

    What a fancy blender. I happen to have a fancy blender on my Christmas list. Fingers crossed. This hot chocolate mix looks amazing. I love that you pulverized the chips right into the mix. Pinned.

    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!

      Hi Jamie! Thank you for the question! I forgot to put it in the recipe box. It's all updated now. The mug you see in the pic is 12oz. and I used 3 Tbsp of the mix.
