Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix for Camping

We love to have hot cocoa while we're camping, which in the past has meant Swiss Miss instant powder. I'm wanting to avoid all the additives and the powdered milk, so we're trying this homemade mix this year. It looks delicious, and it will be so nice to add just a tidge to your coffee and milk for a yummy, homemade, Starbucks-style treat by the campfire!

3/4 C. chocolate chips, frozen
1 C. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/2 C. powdered sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. cornstarch

To make the mix:
1. Freeze the chocolate chips for at least 10 minutes or they will melt as you process them! Pulse in a food processor until they are small crumbles.

2. Mix together with other ingredients and store in an airtight container. Makes about 4 C. of mix.

For each serving of hot cocoa:
2 Tbsp. hot cocoa mix
1 C. milk
whipped cream or marshmallows for garnish
flavored International Delight Coffee Creamer for flavors, if desired

This original recipe appeared on the wonderful food blog, Crazy for Crust.
