Dairy-Free Hot Chocolate Mix

This dairy-free hot chocolate mix is so delicious and ridiculously easy to mix up. I always hated buying hot chocolate mix from the grocery store. It is loaded with many chemicals, and preservatives, and often includes powdered milk. Blegh.

I realize there is a definite convenience factor in adding hot water to a hot cocoa mix. But when we used store-bought hot chocolate, the flavor was just not worth the calories. If you want to make a mix with powdered milk included, this one from Eating on a Dime is highly-rated.

I was not happy with storebought hot chocolate mix, so I got out my trusty recipe and we started using my homemade mix. This mix is dairy-free, which gives you the freedom to use whatever kind of milk your heart desires. Not only can you up your milk game with this mix but you can also choose a high-quality organic cocoa powder, raw cocoa powder, or gourmet even.

Original Dairy-Free Hot Chocolate Mix

My incredibly sweet oldest daughter Ellie shared this recipe originally here when she was only 7 years old. She was my little helper in the kitchen and was always by my side. Since I was blogging, she wanted to blog too. But here were are today and she is 18 years old now.

Look at that little hand! 🙂

Sniff sniff.

I’m not crying.

Her writing on here never took off and I figured it was high time I update her post with some updated pictures and information.

Her original post included talk of loving me.  I’m a good cook. I make popcorn and other good foods, including chili that’s not spicy.

Oh her little post was so cute and I have it! But we were due for an update so here it is…
