Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups powdered milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1.5 cups cocoa powder
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and mix until well blended.
  • Spoon into Mason jars or a glass container.
  • Use 3 Tablespoons hot cocoa mix to 1 cup hot water or milk.
  • If you want a peppermint hot cocoa, add 1 teaspoon mint extract (or to taste) to hot chocolate. Top with optional whipped cream and/or marshmallows, or add a splash of heavy cream to your mug.

Notes

  • Both mini and white chocolate chips are optional but look great in gift jars.
  • For a richer hot chocolate, mix 3 Tablespoons hot cocoa mix with milk. 
  • Since there is powdered milk in the hot cocoa mix, you can use hot water and the hot chocolate will still be delicious!
