Easy Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix Recipe

Step 1

Process all ingredients in a food processor for about 1 minute until all of the chocolate is ground into bits small enough to resemble powder. That’s the mix! Easy, right?

Step 2

Bring 8 oz milk for every portion you plan on serving to a simmer, 180°F (82°C).

Step 3

Add 1–2 Tbsp mix to your mug. Pour in the hot milk, stirring briskly as you do so. It works well to pour in about 1/3 of the milk per portion, stir that into the mix to melt the chocolate, then add the rest of the milk, stirring well.

Step 4

Garnish with whipped cream, homemade marshmallows, shaved chocolate, peppermint sticks, or whatever you like!
