How to Make Instant Hot Chocolate Mix

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, non-fat dry milk, and salt until well combined.
  2. Gradually add the vanilla powder and instant coffee, whisking constantly to prevent clumping.
  3. Stir in the mini marshmallows until evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place.
  5. To prepare a serving: Add 1/3 cup of hot chocolate mix to a mug. Gradually whisk in 3/4 to 1 cup of hot water or milk until smooth and creamy. Add more water or milk for desired consistency. Top with whipped cream and marshmallows (optional)!
