Don’t freak out! It’s okay!
If you have cooking chocolate you can just mix it with sugar to get delicious hot cocoa. Sometimes the little carton’s of cooking chocolate will even have a recipe on the side. If not, just try a 1 to 1 ratio of chocolate and sugar. Heat up your milk and add your mixture… mixing really really well.
Result? Delicious.
I find that the best way to mix smoothly is to add a small amount of milk to the dry ingridents, mix well, then add the rest of the warm milk and enjoy. For super deliciousness add a drop of vanilla extract. For super super delcious add flavored syrups, we use Torani’s, hazelnut is my favorite in hot cocoa.
Adding a small amount of hot water to the dry ingredients works even better for smooth mixing.
