Hot Chocolate Mix

This year, I made several homemade gifts. I decided to add homemade hot chocolate to my gift. This was pretty yummy to sip on a cold night.

Hot Chocolate Mix

Ingredients:
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups granulated sugar
1½ lbs. good quality semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
9 oz. good quality bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 cups Dutch process cocoa powder*

Directions:
Combine vanilla extract and sugar in a large bowl, let it dry, then break the sugar into small lumps.

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the sugar, semisweet and bittersweet chocolate, and Dutch process cocoa powder. Process in 4-second pulses until the chocolate is very finely ground and the mixture is well combined. Store the mix in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Serving Instructions:
Combine 2 tablespoons cocoa mix with 8 oz. of very warm milk and stir to combine until well blended.

*I used a blend of natural and Dutch process cocoa.

This made 12 3/4 cup servings.
