DIY// Hot Chocolate Mix

I love chocolate so it makes sense that I would love hot chocolate right?! Well not exactly, I love the idea of hot chocolate, the snuggling up in front of the fire with a big streaming mug topped with marshmallows and cream. But I can never seem to find the perfect blend of sweetness and chocolate. But i've been mixing and matching different combinations and I think I've finally found the perfect blend. It's sweet, vanilla-ry, with a little hint of salt and has the perfect amount of chocolate in it as well. If your in a hot chocolate rut like I was why not try this out and see if it can cure you! It's super easy; In a large-ish bowl combine One Cup of Brown Sugar, 200g Chocolate Buttons, One and a Half cups of Cocoa Powder, One Tablespoon of Salt, the insides of Two Vanilla Beans as well as the beans and two Cups of Milk Powder.  Make sure all the dry ingredients are combined before filling up mason jars- or any type of container that suits you!

If you need a present for a friend but don't want to splurge to much why not make them a Hot Chocolate Kit? Fill one jar with Hot Chocolate Mix, another with marshmallows and find a cute mug to go with it. Then tie some ribbon around them all and your done! They'll think you've gone to a lot of effort, when really it was the easiest present you've ever given ;)
