This makes the richest, creamiest hot chocolate you’ll ever have. Keep a batch of this made for the cold winter months!
I’ve told you guys about my love for hot chocolate numerous times, but I think now it’s gotten to an unhealthy level (literally). I just really think there is nothing more comforting than 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 like, so soothing and relaxing? I don’t know. I have a cup (or several cups) of hot chocolate everyday. 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!
We’ve finally come to the time of year in New Jersey where it is so bitter cold out, your fingers and nose feel like they’re about to chip off from being outside in just a matter of minutes. I am so (SOOOO) not a winter person. I prefer to be inside doing warm things in warm fuzzy socks with warm fuzzy pajamas on.. all day long. With an extra large mug of hot cocoa in my hands, of course!
This hot cocoa mix tastes sort of like hot cocoa in the packages but 10x better because there is no chemical-ish after-taste. It’s so weird because 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 I didn’t even like it anymore! *GASP* It tastes SO fake once you get used to having the real stuff! And 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!

Ingredients:
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 1/3 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.
Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix will keep for up to 3 months stored in an airtight container.

Yum I’m going to need to make this! My kids are always wanting hot chocolate and it can get expensive. We drink and buy a ton of it so making it would be a much better option. Also it looks so good!
It’s awesome!!
Wow, that looks so rich and delicious! I pinned it for later, I’m definitely going to make it! In fact, aside from the white chocolate chips, I should have all the ingredients in my cabinet. I do have white chocolate mint M&Ms left over from the holidays, I wonder how that would taste? Hmmmmm. Now I want hot cocoa!
Mmmmm! Probably delicious!!
Love, love, love this! I only tried making hot chocolate once and it was an incredible failure, so I’ve been sticking to the mixes sold at the farmers market. I am really excited to try this, especially since I’ve only got one container left and the market doesn’t open until March Doubly excited that I have everything on hand haha, thanks for sharing!
Oh no! You’ve got to try this version, especially since you’ve got everything on hand!
Love the idea of homemade hot chocolate powder! Hot chocolate is one of my favorite treats, I have even made it in the crock pot before I love it that much to have a pot around all day. I am going to have to try this out for travel baggies for us when we travel.
Yum!! Love hot chocolate in the crock pot. That is such a great idea for traveling!
I recently received homemade hot cocoa mix from a friend for Christmas, and let me tell you it was amazing. I’ve become absolutely addicted to hot cocoa now as well, similar to you. I rationalize it though, because sometimes it is the perfect ‘something sweet’ for a snack, and I know a cup of hot cocoa is a lot better for me than a big bowl of ice cream or candy bar! I will have to try out this recipe because I just ran out of what my friend gave me, bought store made hot cocoa, and it definitely isn’t cutting it.
After you have the real stuff, the store bought just isn’t the same anymore!! Lol
I am like you big time, I am NOT a fan of winter but i am a lover of every hot chocolate. I too have several cups of hot chocolate a day and in the office when we do our sundries shopping everyone knows to include my hot chocolate mix at least 2 different flavours. This one looks absolutely delicious and making me want another when i just finished one.
I am a confessing hot-chocolate-aholic too! We need to start a club. I am going to try making this now so I can give some away for Christmas as gifts in jars! I like cream and marshmallows on mine like you….now I’m off to make one!
I’m with you, let’s start a club! Lol or maybe we should just go to hot-chocolate-aholics-anonymous. Let me know how you like it! This would be great for gifting
I am a huge fan of hot cocoa, and not too long ago, I went on a mission to find a recipe to recreate Abuelita Mexican Hot Chocolate mix because I can never find the packets when I had a craving. I wanted to have the mix on hand. I am going to use your base to play around with the flavors. I never even thought that it was nonfat dry milk powder that made it that powdery consistency…or that confectioner’s sugar gives it a non-granulated texture. Pinned this!
I made homemade hot chocolate the other day when we had a snow day. My kids loved it. I have to try making it up ahead of time so that I can have it on hand all the time.
For some reason I never have thought to make my own hot cocoa mix before! I just love this idea.. and how you can also add any type of flavour you like to it.
Oh man this is one of my fave drinks in the Winter! I really love how warm it makes me and its just so yummy too! I have seen so many different easy to make recipes but yours looks by far even better! It looks fairly simple as well. I would love to make this soon! Thanks for sharing!
Hey Jessica I was wondering if you can add hot water instead of milk? Thanks
Absolutely! I just love the richness the milk gives the hot chocolate.
This recipe looks interesting. As a major chocoholic, I wonder what it would taste like if you used Dark cocoa, and semisweet or dark chocolate chips, instead of white chocolate. Hmmm!
Probably delicious!!!
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! I’ve recently been craving hot cocoa. I had some Ghirardelli double chocolate cocoa powder, but I ran out. I had also just read about the health properties of cacao powder–it’s ground cacao nibs and is the closest product of the cacao tree. It tastes just like cocoa powder. I’ve been wanting to copy the Ghirardelli double chocolate cocoa powder, and your instructions to process the cocoa mix in the food processor is exactly what I needed to make my own recipe.
I found organic cacao powder in the vitamin and supplement section in my local Harris Teeter–$6 for a huge bag. It tastes just like good quality cocoa powder. Except it’s so much better for you. I’m also going to use bittersweet chocolate chips. Thanks again for giving me the inspiration I needed.
PS I also add a dollop of marshmallow creme to make my hot cocoa completely amazing. The creme melts into the cocoa so much better than the regular store bought marshmallows. Marshmallow creme is also very easy to make–sugar syrup and gelatin boiled together then whipped in a stand mixer (it takes 10-15 minutes to whip up, so a hand held mixer wouldn’t work.) Throw a towel over the top of the mixing bowl to keep the hot syrup from splattering all over your kitchen. The only difficult part of homemade marshmallows is making the individual marshmallows by spreading the whipped cream onto a cornstarch or powdered sugar coated pan. So I just put the whipped mix into a jar instead. I got a huge jar of organic gelatin on Amazon–I’m also going to make homemade gummy bears from fruit juice–grape, cherry, and pomegranate.
Sounds delicious!!
My daughter wants to make this for gifts for all her gymnast friends…24 of them!
I am wondering if we could mix everything except the white chips. Put the mix in a jar, top with white chips. It would have a layered look. Add a candy cane on the outside of the jar with twine.
Would the chips melt in the hot drink?
Sure, I think that would work! Sounds like an adorable idea.
what can you use to grind white choc. chips if you don’t have a food processor
Possibly a blender?
Been looking for a good recipe. Most recipes have powdered milk but you add water when mixing. This one has the powdered milk but you mix with milk again. Just doesn’t make sense to me. Can you tell me is this an error on your part?
You can add water or milk, I prefer adding milk but either way is fine since there is powdered milk in the recipe.
I do one similar but I don’t add the white chocolate chips. Instead I use instant chocolate pudding mix to create a similar mouth feel and I add a non dairy creamer too. I am going to try the white chocolate too.
Hello, just found this recipe when I was searching to make my first homemade batch. I’m wanting to make some for my sons teacher who loves peppermint hot chocolate. I would use peppermint oil I think, any idea when will be best to add that and how much I should start with? Thank you!!
I would substitute peppermint chips instead. Or maybe even candy canes pulsed fine.
Can you use hot water instead
Yes, absolutely.
I am going to be finding out how good this recipe is tomorrow, when I actually make the cocoa, but tonight I have been trying to make the mix. I have a great blender and food processor, but the chips just are not grinding up. Very disappointing, I really hope that they will melt in the drink, but now I am worried that the ratios will be off. Any suggestions??? Thank you!
It’s okay! I am so sorry for the delayed response! They are supposed to be like that They don’t completely turn to powder and will melt in the drink.
Jess can this be made without a food processor can it be put in a blender
Yes, I am sure a blended would work.
Hi this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYGeditors or if you have to manually codewith HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone withexperience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submittedand say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new tothe whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for rookie blog writers?I’d really appreciate it.

Definitely believe that that you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to be at the net the simplest thing to remember of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same time as people think about
concerns that they plainly don’t realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and
defined out the entire thing without having side effect ,
other people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
Thank you
Excellent post. I am experiencing many of these issues as well..

I’ve been browsing on-line more than three hours today, yet I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It?¦s pretty value sufficient for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the net might be much more helpful than ever before.

The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
