Equipment:
Jars for gifting
spoon
funnel
food processor or blender
For the Jars:
2 oz. semisweet chocolate
chopped
1 oz. white chocolate
chopped
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 vanilla bean, scraped
This rich, sweet cocoa mix is great for gift giving during the holiday season, or just having on hand for a preservative free mix that you can customize!
Process the semisweet and white chocolate until very fine. Then add other ingredients and blend well. Put in a gift jar (we used these Quattro Bottles) and top with marshmallows or crushed peppermint candies.
To prepare: For one serving, heat 1 cup whole milk, then add 3 tbsp cocoa mix and continue heating until ingredients are fully dissolved (mix in a small spoon of crushed mint candy for minty cocoa). Top with marshmallows, whipped cream, orange zest, cinnamon, pinch of cayenne, or drink plain.
