EASY NON-DAIRY HOT CHOCOLATE MIX
My son has a milk allergy, so I have spent a good deal of time learning to convert standard recipes into things that won't leave him covered in a rash. I also like to try to use things that I already have in the house. Hopefully someone else will find this helpful.

Tips for Making the Best Hot Chocolate Mix
- Use high-quality cocoa powder. The type of cocoa powder you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your hot chocolate. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "natural" or "unsweetened."
- Add a little bit of salt. Salt helps to balance out the sweetness of the hot chocolate and makes it more flavorful.
- Use whole milk or cream. Whole milk or cream will make your hot chocolate richer and creamier. If you are using skim milk, you may want to add a little bit of butter or oil to help it thicken.
- Sweeten to taste. The amount of sugar or other sweetener you add will depend on your personal preference. You can also use flavored syrups or extracts to add a different flavor to your hot chocolate.
- Top it off with whipped cream, marshmallows, or grated chocolate. These toppings will make your hot chocolate even more decadent and delicious.
