Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and powdered milk. Whisk until thoroughly mixed and smooth with no clumps.
Using a food processor, pulse the freeze-dried raspberries several times until they become a fine powder. Be careful not to over-process into a paste.

If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips for extra richness.
Transfer the cocoa mix to an airtight jar or container for storage. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
To prepare a single serving of hot cocoa: Place 3 tablespoons of the cocoa mix into a mug. Add 8 ounces of hot milk or water. Stir until the mix is fully dissolved, and taste to adjust sweetness as needed.
