Instructions:
In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, powdered sugar, powdered milk, cornstarch, salt, and any spices. Stir in the finely chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips until well combined. Store in an airtight container or jar in a cool, dry place (lasts about 3 months).
To serve:
Add ⅓ cup of mix to 1 cup of hot milk or hot water. Stir until smooth and melted, then top with whipped cream or marshmallows.
Tips to Elevate It:
Use a mix of 70% and 85% dark chocolate for a more complex flavor. Add a dash of vanilla extract when serving.
