Do you remember the Homemade Nesquick recipe I shared with you recently? Well, it has been so cold here my kids have been hooked on hot chocolate. I want to share how I changed my Homemade Nesquick into Homemade hot chocolate mix. It is SO easy! All you have to do is add powdered milk. Adding the powdered milk makes this hot chocolate nice and creamy and oh so yummy.
This is WAY cheaper than the boxed variety (and tastes better). A typical 10-count box of cocoa will coast you about $1 (if you get it on sale). You can make this homemade hot chocolate mix for under $1 and it will give you over 20 servings! Plus, there is something to be said about knowing ALL of the ingredients in your cocoa. 😉
Try this homemade hot chocolate mix today – you’re kids will thank you!
Now make sure you snag a super cute Mason jar to store your homemade mix inside. Amazon has several on sale here.Â
- 1⅓ cup sugar (granulated or powdered)
- ⅔ cup baking cocoa
- ½ cup powdered milk
- ⅛ teaspoon salt (optional)
- Combihttps://eatingonadime.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/how-to-make-homemade-hot-chocolate-square.jpgne ingredients in a mason jar. Shake until everything is well combined.
- To make hot chocolate, add 1-2 tablespoons of homemade hot chocolate mix to hot water. Stir and enjoy!

That’s a lovely article. This is a better idea than buying the hot chocolate mix. You can use sugar as per your need.

My husband is allergic to coconut. Really hard to find mixes without it. Thanks

This is great! I havd been looking for a good homemade recipe since all of the prepackaged mixes all have hydrogenated oils in them…trying to clean up my diet without giving up all of my favorite things. To make this a Mocha Hot Chocolate…how much esspresso powder would you suggest adding to the mix? I am not a coffee drinker but do like a little bit in my cocoa. Thanks again 🙂
