Cook Time
Prep Time:
10 minutes
Total Time:
10 minutes
Ingredients
4 cups powdered milk
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 1/2 cups cocoa
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 cups milk chocolate chips
Toppings: marshmallows, peppermint, mint chocolate chips, etc
Recipe
- In a large bowl, add in all of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips and toppings.
- Stir it up using a big spoon or whisk.
- Sift the mixture completely to get rid of all of the clumps. That’s the key– you don’t want any clumps. Once you sift it, it’ll look like the mix you get from the store. It’ll be very fine.
- After you sift it, mix in the chocolate chips and give it a stir.
- Grab the jars that you’ll store them in or give them in and begin filling them.
- Once I fill them almost all the way up, I’ll top it with marshmallows or whatever toppings I want to include. You can also do mint chocolate chips, peppermint, etc.
- To serve, you’ll add 1/3 cup of mix to 1 cup of warm milk. If you want a larger cup, you’ll add 2/3 cup of mix to 2 cups of warm milk and so on. You can also use warm water as well, but it won’t be as creamy.
This mix is better than the store bought ones, I promise! It’s great as a holiday gift because it’s personal and so cozy. I’m using my favorite Weck Jars to store the mix in.
