Smooth & Creamy Hot Chocolate Mix

1. Process the chocolate chips in a food processor until they are fine shreds. Be careful not to over process or the chips will melt.
2. Remove shredded chips to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
3. Process turbinado sugar in the food processor until it forms into a powder.
4. Place it in the mixing bowl with the chips.
5. Add the cacao powder and non-fat dry milk to the bowl and stir to combine.
6. Return mix to the food processor and pulse until ingredients are well combined and it becomes a fine powder.
7. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place. I store mine in the fridge.

When you are ready for a smooth cup of hot chocolate:
8. Mix 2 to 3 heaping tablespoons of the powdered mix into 8 ounces of hot milk (dairy or non-dairy). Adjust the powdered mix to your taste.
9. Add topping of your choice.

Flavor options: You can add 1/2 cup of flavored non-dairy powdered creamer to the mix, if desired. Or you can add dry or wet creamer to taste when preparing the hot chocolate.
