I love Hot Chocolate! However, I really love GOOD Hot Chocolate. My tastes have changed and nothing I can purchase in the store will do, they are too weak tasting for me. Most of the Hot Chocolate mixes I have made from scratch have not been that great either. My indulgence is to make a batch of good chocolate ganache and keep it in the frig and scoop from it when I need a rich creamy Hot Chocolate adding hot milk too it. Oh boy, nothing beats that!!!
It is not always the economical way to enjoy Hot Chocolate so I have found a mix recipe that is pretty dang good. I believe I got from Cook's Illustrated magazine. Easy to make- delicious!
Best-Ever Hot Cocoa Mix
3 cups non-fat dry milk

1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1/4 t. salt
Combine ingredients in a large bowl. Working in two batches, pulse ingredients in food processor until chocolate is finely ground. Store in airtight container for up to 3 months. Makes 20 servings.
To make Hot Cocoa, stir 1/3 cup mix to 1 1/4 cup hot milk.
*must used Dutch processed cocoa powder for great taste!
