How to Make Best Ever Hot Cocoa Mix

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Add 12 ounces of finely chopped white chocolate to the bowl.
  3. Working in two batches, pulse the mixture in a food processor until the white chocolate is finely ground and evenly distributed. (Do not over-process!)
  4. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 3 months.
  5. To prepare one serving of hot cocoa, whisk 1/3 cup of the hot cocoa mix into 1 cup of hot milk until smooth and creamy.
  6. Top with your favorite toppings! We recommend whipped cream, mini marshmallows, and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. For an extra special touch, consider adding a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a splash of brandy!
  7. Enjoy your luxurious hot cocoa by the fireplace (optional, but highly recommended)!
