Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups nonfat dry milk
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder I prefer Hershey's brand
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon optional, but I love the hint of spice

Instructions
 

  • Add all the ingredients into a food processor or a blender that can handle dry ingredients. Turn that baby on and blend it until the chocolate chips have disappeared and all that's left is a fine chocolate dust.
  • To make your cup of cozy, scoop 5 tablespoons of instant hot cocoa mix into a mug and add 8 ounces of hot water. Stir to remove the lumps and enjoy! Of course top it with marshmallows, whip cream, sprinkles, or whatever your heart desires! This mix can be stored for in a sealed container up to 6 months though I guarantee it won't last that long.
