- 2 cups Powdered milk
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips or grated chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla powder (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, powdered milk, cornstarch, and salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
If using, add the vanilla powder for an extra layer of flavor. Mix well.
Stir in the mini chocolate chips or grated chocolate to give the mix a rich, creamy texture when prepared.
Transfer the mix to an airtight container or jar for storage. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.

Serve immediately and garnish with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired. Enjoy!
