HOMEMADE HOT CHOCOLATE MIX
Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix is delicious and so easy to make! I keep it for months with no problems. You can double or triple the recipe. I usually double this recipe and keep in a pint jar. It is wonderful when you want something warm in cold weather and makes a great gift. Most children love hot chocolate. Just add some marshmallows or whipped cream on top for a quick treat. There is nothing like a good book and a hot cup of this chocolate mix on a cool fall day or a cold winter afternoon. My entire family loves this recipe and we drink it year round.
Homemade Hot chocolate mix ingredients needed:
White granulated sugar
100% cocoa
Table salt
Last year I made this up in cute little jars of this, added a small bag of marshmallows and peppermint sticks and gave it to the neighbors with their holiday goodie bags. This is a very simple way to give a great gift. I like to double this recipe, make it all up in a big bowl and then spoon it into cute little jars.
If you love to give food gifts for the holidays you may want to add these delicious treats too:

My favorite! We make it every year to enjoy on Christmas morning.
Everyone in my family loves Hot Chocolate. But need to make it sugar free. Would you know how much Splenda to put in it . Same as sugar or less.
It usually says on the bag the packages of splenda come in how much would be the same as sugar. Otherwise, I would just use the same amount of splenda as sugar, Clara.
What kind of cocoa do you use? Is it Dutch processed cocoa or another kind?
Hersheys is one I normally use, its a powder not a bar.
