Servings: 32 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate finely chopped
- 6 ounces milk chocolate finely chopped
- 1 cup unsweetened baking cocoa I used Hershey's
Instructions
- How to make the mix: Mix the sugar, chopped chocolate, and baking chocolate. I like to use a large resealable bag and give it a few good shakes. You can store the mix in the same bag or portion it into other airtight containers for gifting. The mix will keep at room temperature for up to six months.
- How to make a mug of hot chocolate: I think a couple of generous tablespoons of mix per 8 ounces of milk makes the perfect serving. Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it's warmed through. Add the mix and whisk until the chocolate has melted.
Notes
A food processor makes chopping the chocolate easy, but it can also be done by hand—it will just take a while and be a little messy. If you try this, chop it as fine as possible.
