Dry hot chocolate mix and chocolate sauce

 

These two recipes are based on ones from TikTok.

HOT CHOCOLATE MIX (makes about 3 cups dry mix)

1-1/4 cup Dutch processed cocoa
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup dry milk (many places sell only nonfat or low fat dry milk)
3/4 tsp salt
1 Tbl cornstarch 

Sift or whisk well together to remove lumps. Store in an air tight container.

For hot chocolate:

Use 1-2 Tbl of the mix for each cup (8 oz) of hot water.

Optional: add a drizzle of vanilla and/or marshmallows

Some salt

Some corn syrup

To make a large batch (eg for canning):

2 cups cocoa

2 cups granulated sugar
