A simple DIY hot chocolate blend that you can mix up to have on hand for a special hot beverage, or give to a friend as a gift.
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
4 0z bar of good quality baking chocolate
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and blend until powdery. Pour into a mason jar or air tight container to store.
To serve heat 8 oz of milk and add a heaping Tablespoon of cocoa powder. Use more or less for you personal preference.
I use a bar of Ghirardelli 60% baking chocolate for this mix. Use any semi-sweet or milk chocolate bar you prefer.
