Lately since it seems to get cold and dark in the middle of the afternoon I've been really craving hot chocolate. :D I looked up some recipes online for making hot chocolate for one and didn't have much luck - they mostly ended up like extra sweet milk. I tested out different ratios every night until I figured it out. I am happy to announce that this is awesome and
tastes much better than the packet stuff, and is much easier to make than heating up the milk on the stove like I used to do. :) P.S. - This also makes coffee taste great! Pour coffee over the sugar and cocoa instead of milk for a "dirty mocha" - that's what we called it at the bookstore I worked at. I use lactose free milk at home. Nut, rice and soy milks are just too watery. You might be able to get around the watery issue by using coconut milk, though! If you're feeling ridiculously decadent, I recommend using 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream. :D At home, I use
Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder and that requires only a 1/2 tablespoon to taste really chocolatey. Add the sugar and cocoa powder into a cup with the cayenne and salt if you're using those. :D Mix together with a fork. Pour the milk into a measuring cup and heat in the microwave for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, or until nice and hot. Pour the hot milk over and mix quickly with a fork. (If using
vanilla, add it here) A fork will allow you to get into all the corners that a whisk will skip! :D I've yet to make one where the cocoa powder was entirely clump free, but having really hot milk helps quite a bit. (Note that if you pour the dry ingredients into the hot milk, it mixes up really badly. CLUMPS EVERYWHERE)

Everybody Needs a Little InspirationDon't miss irresistible recipes, exciting news and sweet surprises. Oh boy, do I love hot cocoa. And that’s never going to change. I’ve got WAY too many childhood memories and nostalgia tied up into a piping hot cup of cocoa with marshmallows on top. It’s the perfect treat for a cold night, paired with snuggles on the couch and a good movie. I feel cozy inside just writing that. When I’m at a hotel and see a packet of hot cocoa mix, I’ll usually make myself a cup, driven by my previously mentioned nostalgia. Though I have to admit that I cringe when I read the list of ingredients on the back. Most store-bought hot cocoa mixes have hydrogenated oils, preservatives, and other undesirable things in them. The good news is when you make it at home, none of that gets included, and the results are still delicious. Just keep the hot cocoa mix in the pantry and add hot water whenever you want some homemade hot cocoa. To start, sift 2 cups of confectioner’s sugar into a bowl. Next, sift 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder. Hooray for no lumps! Add 2 cups of powdered milk to the mix. Stir it all together until combined. The hot cocoa mix is now ready to be stored, either in one big container, or in little jars that you can give to friends. I like to throw some mini marshmallows on top too. Whenever you want a cup of hot cocoa, simply combine equal parts hot water and cocoa mix, and you’re in business. Enjoy!
