If using a vanilla bean, split it lengthwise with a sharp knife, scrape out the seeds, and mix them into the dry ingredients for an added depth of flavor.
For extra richness, stir in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the cocoa mix to an airtight container, such as a mason jar or resealable bag, for storage. Keep in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
To prepare a cup of hot chocolate: Add 3 tablespoons of the cocoa mix to a mug. Pour in 8 ounces of hot milk or hot water, and stir until dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste if needed.
Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a dusting of cocoa powder for a delightful finish. Enjoy!
