The Best Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

Used this recipe but with carob powder for my chocolate allergic family. They declared it delicious, and almost indistinguishable from the real thing! I’d call that a success, so now it sits on the side ready for cold temperatures and family in need of warming up. Notes: it doesn’t quite entirely fit in my food processor, which was awkward as far as blending and mixing goes, so I recommend two lots and dump it out into a bowl before putting into the storage jars (it nicely fills and half gallon mason jar). It’s also very messy because it uses multiple powders in the making; put the processor on top of a damp tea towel, or surrounded by one, for easier clean up.

I used semi sweet chocolate morsals. I recommend using mini morals so they melt faster in the hot liquid.

Delicious! I always have some of this on hand now. It makes a great impromptu gift if you have some pretty jars around.

A double batch fills 6 pint sized mason jars.
