Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups Dry milk powder
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, dry milk powder, cornstarch, and salt to eliminate any lumps.
If using semi-sweet chocolate chips, pulse them in a food processor until finely ground, then add them to the cocoa mixture.
Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined. The semi-sweet chocolate chips (if using) should be evenly distributed throughout the mix.
Transfer the mix to an airtight container or jar for storage. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
To make hot chocolate: Add 3 tablespoons of the mix to 1 cup (8 ounces) of warm milk or water. Stir well until dissolved and heated to your liking.
