Today’s recipe is a hot cocoa mix you can make yourself and keep on hand for whenever you feel like a cup of warm chocolatey goodness. This recipe is a little different than the other 2 recipes I have shared before (Best Ever Hot Cocoa Mix and Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix). This one uses hazelnut flavored coffee creamer. I love the addition of flavor that it adds.
Hot Cocoa Mix
Ingredients
- 2 cups instant dry milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup hazelnut flavored coffee creamer
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 2½ cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Place dry milk and chocolate chips in a food processor or high powered blender (like a Blendtec). Process in the ingredients in the food processor until it becomes a nice powder.
- Add the powder to a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Whisk together until well blended with no clumps. (The chocolate chip/dry milk mixture likes to clump together)
- Store in an airtight container.
- To make hot cocoa, add ¼ cup of mix to 1 cup of hot water (or hot milk for a richer cup of cocoa) and stir until well combined and the mixture has dissolved.

This hot chocolate sounds delicious. Is the hazelnut coffee creamer powdered or liquid? Also, where did you find it? Thanks.
