After you try this hot cocoa, you’ll never open a packet of mix again!
Add milk powder, confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and salt to food processor. Lock lid into place. Hold down pulse button for 1 second, then release. Repeat until chocolate chips are finely ground, about ten 1-second pulses.
The hot cocoa mix is ready when the chocolate chips are finely ground.
Remove lid and carefully remove processor blade (ask an adult for help). Use rubber spatula to transfer cocoa mix to airtight storage container. (Cocoa mix can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 months.)
To make hot cocoa: Use ⅓-cup dry measuring cup to scoop ⅓ cup cocoa mix into large mug. Pour 1 cup milk into mug. Heat in microwave until hot, about 2 minutes. Use oven mitts to remove mug from microwave. Stir with spoon until well combined. Top with whipped cream or mini marshmallows (if using).
Make it your way: Top your hot cocoa with whipped cream or mini marshmallows, or enjoy it plain!
