Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix
This easy hot chocolate mix is perfect for keeping on hand in the pantry, so you can enjoy a warm cup of sweetness whenever the craving strikes.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 20.1 ounce Nesquik chocolate milk mix powder
- 3 cups non-fat dry milk powder
- 8 ounces non-dairy creamer powder (I use half of a 16-ounce container)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Whisk together until well-incorporated.
- Transfer to an airtight container for storage.
- To prepare hot chocolate, add about 1/4 cup of mix to a mug, followed by 3/4 cup hot water. Stir to dissolve the mix. (See notes below regarding adjusting amount of mix according to taste).
- Serve and enjoy, adding marshmallows or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- I use "original" non-dairy coffee creamer powder, but you can experiment with different flavors, if you'd like. I've used french vanilla flavor before, and it was tasty, but my kids prefer the plain variety. Make sure to buy powdered creamer, not liquid creamer!
- Nonfat dry milk powder can usually be found in the baking aisle or coffee aisle of the grocery store. I most often use the Great Value brand from Walmart, but you can also buy it on Amazon.
- You can adjust the sweetness and flavor intensity of your hot chocolate by adjusting the amount of powder in your drink. I typically use 1/4 cup mix with 3/4 cup water, but you can increase to 1/3 cup of mix or even 1/2 cup.
- If you prefer to eyeball things, add enough mix to fill your cup about 1/3 of the way, then add hot water.
