Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

Its snowing. (Where I live, anyway.) That means hot chocolate season that time of year when kids seem to have an insatiable need for frothy mugs of warm chocolate. I like to forego the packaged mix, which is full of ingredients I dont recognize and cant pronounce, for a homemade version that I can whisk together in seconds. Make it the same way you prepare other instant hot chocolates using milk as a base, rather than water. Its the best way to get your chocolate fix when the temperature drops and packaged in a vintage jar, makes a delicious and inexpensive gift, too.

Of course homemade hot chocolate mix is completely customizable add a pinch of cinnamon, or even chiles, to make spiced hot chocolate, or add a handful of mini marshmallows now so you wont have to later. To get fancy, shave some dark chocolate into your mix using a vegetable peeler or box grater or sprinkle some on top of your hot chocolate once its made.
