I just love a big mug of steaming hot, hot chocolate, curled up under my warm covers watching my shows. Is it just me or is holding a hot mug of anything just so soothing and relaxing? I'm somewhat of a hot chocolate connoisseur, so I know my stuff. And I'm telling you, this homemade hot cocoa mix makes the richest, creamiest hot chocolate you'll ever have!
Why you'll love this recipe
- You can make this homemade hot cocoa mix and store it for 6+months! As long as your ingredients are within their expiration date, then that is how long this mix will be good for, stored properly of course!
- The addition of white chocolate in this mix gives it such a creamy taste.
- You can prepare hot cocoa using this homemade hot cocoa mix using either water or milk since there is milk powder in the recipe.
This hot cocoa mix tastes 10x better than the mixes from the store because there is no chemical-ish after-taste. I was at my grandmother's house the other day and I was FREEZING so she made me a cup of hot cocoa using the packaged powder (mind you, those used to be my favorite) and it tastes so different to me now! I'm never turning back. I bet you won't either after tasting your first mug of this gloriously creamy, chocolatey drink.
Make a batch of this for the cold winter months ahead, you won't be sorry you did!
Or if you're like me.. you'll have it on hand all year long to curb your hot chocolate cravings!

📋 Recipe
Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix
Ingredients
- 3 cups nonfat dry milk powder
- 2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 1 ½ cups cocoa powder
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Dump all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until white chocolate chips are finely ground. This makes a large batch, so if your food processor isn't large enough, you may want to do this in two batches. Spoon mixture into an airtight container.
- To make a cup of hot cocoa, measure ⅓ cup of hot cocoa mix into a large mug and pour 1 cup of hot milk on top. Stir until everything is completely combined and top with marshmallows or whipped cream if you desire.
