Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix is super chocolaty, so easy to mix up and made with simple ingredients!
Of course we are huge hot chocolate drinkers around here. I mean, of course. The colder temperatures have descended upon us in the Northeast and we probably won’t see shorts weather again until May…SOOOOO I call these our “Official Hot Chocolate Drinking Months.”
I’ve made hot chocolate a lot of different ways; we’ve use packages, we’ve tried the new K-Cups in our coffee maker, I’ve made it in a pinch with chocolate syrup and if I’m feeling fancy I’ve even made a rich melted chocolate version.
But this simple, inexpensive, homemade version of Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix is my favorite, let me show you how!
See how simple?
The recipe for hot chocolate is so super easy. I started with Sugar in the Raw, aka turbinado sugar.
And just pulsed it in my blender with a little salt until it became a powder.
Next I just mixed in some unsweetened cocoa powder and voila! That’s it!
You get a perfectly sweetened (but not too sweet) chocolate mix. I mixed it with some warm milk for creamy hot chocolate!
And you can’t forget the marshmallows in my house!

Can you add instant coffee to this recipe? If so, how much might you suggest?
Delicious! Tastes so healthy is it healhier than the normal stuff you get from the shop?
A tip if anyone wants to have turbinado sugar, just blend half brown and half white sugar together.
Made this as gifts for family members for Christmas. My family said it was delicious! Would definitely make again.

I mixed powdered monk fruit extract with cacao powder and salt. I added a little liquid vanilla stevia to the cup after I fixed the cocoa. Very good! Thank you!

Best recipe to mix with my espresso for a mocha. I also added 1/2 teaspoon of powdered vanilla. I thought the recipe was delicious with just the right amount of sweetness.

Great idea!!
Just mixed this up and I’m so in love with this recipe. My favorite thing is hot chocolate with some brewed coffee in it. I call it my Poor Man’s Mocha. This mix is perfect for that! The chocolate : sugar ratio is perfect! Thanks for this recipe!

That sounds amazing! I will have to try that!
We were out of hot cocoa and since we are in the middle of covid-19 and not leaving the house, I was looking for one that didn’t require powdered milk. This fit the bill and is super tasty. Thanks!

So glad you guys enjoyed!
I suggest to all the salted caramel lovers to add some sea salt and caramel drizzle in the hot coco taste just like the one from Starbucks
This tastes so good, I used raw sugar and it tastes even better than the store bought ones
