Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Nestle unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Powdered milk
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Miniature marshmallows (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Nestle unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, powdered milk, cornstarch, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
If you are adding miniature marshmallows, set them aside for now; they will be added to the jar later.
Spoon the cocoa powder mixture into a clean, dry 16-ounce mason jar (or another airtight container).
Top the cocoa mix with a layer of miniature marshmallows if using, sealing the jar tightly afterwards.
Attach a label to the jar with instructions for preparing the hot cocoa: 'To make one serving, mix 3 tablespoons of cocoa mix with 1 cup of hot milk or hot water. Stir well and enjoy!'
Store the jar in a cool, dry place. This mix will remain fresh for up to 6 months if sealed properly.
