Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups Powdered milk
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered milk, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, cornstarch, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Step 2
If adding ground cinnamon for a spiced variation, mix it in evenly at this stage.

Transfer the hot chocolate mix to an airtight container or glass jar for storage. Label it with the date and instructions for use.
Step 5
To prepare a serving of hot chocolate: Heat 1 cup of milk (or water, for a lighter version) in a small saucepan or in the microwave until hot but not boiling.
Step 6
Add 3 tablespoons of the prepared hot chocolate mix and stir until completely dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Step 7
Serve the hot chocolate warm, optionally topping it with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of additional cocoa powder if desired.
