3 cups nonfat dry milk powder
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine ingredients in large bowl.

Store in airtight container for up to 3 months.
Too make hot cocoa, stir 1/3 cup of the mix into 1 cup of hot (not boiling) milk.
Top with whipped cream or mini marshmallows and a little chocolate powder. I sometimes use cinnamon or nutmeg powder, instead. A little brandy and a crackling fire make for a real treat!

Tips:

Choose high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate you use, the better your hot chocolate will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
Use whole milk: Whole milk will give your hot chocolate a richer flavor and creamier texture than skim or low-fat milk.
Don't boil the milk: Boiling the milk will make it lose its flavor and nutrients. Heat it just until it's steaming, about 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
Whisk in the chocolate: Whisking the chocolate into the milk will help it dissolve more evenly and prevent it from clumping.
Add flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your hot chocolate, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, or peppermint extract.
Serve with marshmallows or whipped cream: Marshmallows and whipped cream are classic toppings for hot chocolate. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess.

Conclusion:

These are just a few tips for making the perfect cup of gourmet hot chocolate. With a little experimentation, you can find the perfect combination of ingredients and flavors to suit your taste. So next time you're in the mood for a warm and comforting drink, give one of these recipes a try. You won't be disappointed.
