Homemade Hot Chocolate

A few years ago I was given this recipe for hot chocolate you could give away as a gift! I made a few batches this year too and was asked to share the recipe! You could also make this up for yourself to have on hand on those cold days for the kids (or you) when they come inside!
Homemade Hot Chocolate
  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

For mix, in a large bowl combine chocolate chips, sugar, cocoa, and cinnamon. Spoon into container, jar, or self sealing plastic bag. Cover or seal. Include the following recipe directions.

To make 4 servings of hot chocolate, in a medium saucepan combine 2/3 cup cocoa mix and 1/4 cup water. Stir over medium heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Whisk in 4 cups milk, half-and-half, or light cream; heat through, whisking occasionally. Pour into mugs. Mix makes 12 servings!
