Give the gift of cozy hot chocolate to yourself or your friends and family. This mix is quick to make and keeps for six months in an airtight container.  The original recipe comes from The Epicurious Cookbook and I’ve made a few tweaks like using regular sugar (as opposed to making vanilla bean sugar) and regular old Hershey’s unsweetened baking cooking instead of Dutch-process.

A food processor makes easy work of chopping the chocolate, but it can be done by hand. Just be sure to chop it as fine as possible.
