Cinnamon Sprinkle Hot Cocoa Mix

Cinnamon Sprinkle Hot Cocoa Mix

Ingredients:
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Sugar
Ground cinnamon
Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients in a sealable container and shake to mix.
2. To make 4 cups: combine 1/2 cup cocoa mix and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan and stir over medium heat until chocolate is melted.
3. Whisk in 4 cups of milk and heat through.
4. To make 1 mug: mix 2-3 spoonfuls of cocoa mix with hot water in a mug and stir until chunks are melted.
5. Notes: I buy Dutch process cocoa powder and raw sugar in bulk from a local Amish food market.
6. I use Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips.
7. Ive never made the stovetop version, preferring a mug of dark chocolate goodness.
8. Ill usually add a splash of milk or cream (or Irish cream liqueur!).
9. If you want the mix to be lighter, add some powdered milk or creamer.
10. I ran a 4-H holiday workshop teaching Cloverbuds to make this and they had a fabulous time (although there was cocoa powder everywhere by the time we were done! ).
