But I prefer to use water because it&#8217;s simple to just use the water from my Keurig for hot chocolate. And if you&#8217;re entertaining and making a snack board or hot chocolate bar, it could get complicated to provide warmed milk for everyone.<br \/><br \/>Problem solved! My mom&#8217;s hot chocolate mix is largely made up of powdered milk and powdered creamer. This means your hot chocolate will still taste like it&#8217;s made from warm, creamy milk.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1646613092166\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What&#8217;s the best way to make hot chocolate?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The best way to make hot chocolate is with milk, water, or a combination of the two. The mix will dissolve more easily in warm liquids and result in a creamier finished product.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1646613098970\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use any type of milk in my hot chocolate?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You can use any type of milk in your hot chocolate, from cow&#8217;s milk to almond milk or soy milk. Just make sure the milk is heated to at least 160 degrees F before adding it to the mix.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1646613118588\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is it better to use whipped cream or marshmallows in my hot chocolate?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">That&#8217;s up to you! Some people prefer whipped cream because it dissolves more easily and doesn&#8217;t get in the way of the chocolate flavor. But others prefer marshmallows because they add a light and fluffy texture to the drink.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"930\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/the-very-best-homemade-hot-chocolate-mix\/?tp_image_id=24482\" data-pin-title=\"DIY Hot Cocoa Snack Board\" data-pin-description=\"DIY Hot Cocoa Snack Board\" src=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_2071-620x930.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Hot Cocoa Snack Board\" class=\"wp-image-24482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_2071-620x930.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_2071-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_2071-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_2071-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_2071-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_2071-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_2071-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Mom's Famous Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Ashton\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-02-17\",\"recipeYield\":50,\"description\":\"This recipe for my Mom&#x27;s Famous Hot Chocolate Mix is one of my favorite childhood treats.

And if you're entertaining and making a snack board or hot chocolate bar, it could get complicated to provide warmed milk for everyone.<br\/><br\/>Problem solved! My mom's hot chocolate mix is largely made up of powdered milk and powdered creamer.
