Hot Cocoa Mix

Recipe #47977 | 4 min | 2 min prep | add private note

I never have understood why most hot cocoa mixes call for store-bought chocolate drink mix as an ingredient. That just doesn't make sense to me. This verson is easier, cheaper, and in my opinion tastes better. Prep time does not include blending. The cook time is the time it takes to heat the water and stir in the cocoa. I have no idea on the serving size, so I gave it a wild guess.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Simply stir together and store.
  2. 2
    If desired, the mixture can be put in the blender for a few minutes.
  3. 3
    This won't change the taste any, but will make it look prettier.
  4. 4
    To serve, add about 6 tablespoons mix to 3/4 cup hot water, or to taste.

I also found this somewhat weak, and added extra cocoa. Additional cocoa, sugar, and maybe a touch of vanilla/cinnamon would make this better. I will also prepare mine with milk instead of water. Powdered milk just doesn't make it creamy enough for me! Thanks!

    I found it bland. I will mix in some extra cocoa before I use it again and see if that helps any. Sorry.

    I like to use powdered sugar, as it dissolves faster than granulated sugar.

    Perfect!! I too, was disappointed that most hot cocoa recipes call for powdered chocolate drink mix. This is a perfect alternative and way less expensive! I made a bunch of jars full of this great hot choclate mix to give as gifts. I also used this recipe (only I did add about 3 Tbsps more sugar)for the "Instant Chocolate drink mix" that was called for in the recipe Cappucino in a Jar Cappuccino in a jar and it was perfect. Thanks for this great recipe I will be making this again soon!
