Ingredients

  • 3 cups powdered milk
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder (We like to use special dark or bittersweet cocoa.)

OPTIONAL

  • miniature marshmallows
  • chocolate shavings or finely chopped chocolate
  • small candy canes

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the powdered milk, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk until there are no lumps and everything is well combined. Transfer to an airtight container and store until ready to use.
  • To make hot cocoa, add about ¼ cup of the dry mix to 8 ounces of hot water. Whisk or stir to dissolve the cocoa mix. Add marshmallows, shaved chocolate, or a candy cane if desired.
