On a wintry day, hot chocolate is the ultimate comfort-in-a-cup-whether you're still a kid or just a kid at heart. This mix is quick to whip up, and will only set you back about .17 cents a serving. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa |
1 1/4 cups sugar |
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In food processor, with knife blade attached, blend cocoa, sugar, chocolate, and salt until almost smooth. Store in tightly sealed container at room temperature up to 6 months.
2. To Make: For each serving, in a microwave-safe mug, mix 3 tablespoons Cocoa Mix with 1 cup mil, microwave on HIGH 1 1/2 - 2 minutes or until blended and hot, stirring once. Swirl a dollop of whipped cream on top.
3. Mocha Variation: Prepare cocoa mix, adding 1/3 cup instant coffee powder or granules before blending in processor.
