Want a reliable, or even gourmet hot chocolate mix when you're short on time that

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup and 1/2 chocolate chips - we like Ghirardelli or Guittard or any other high-quality brand that you like
1 cup granulated sugar
1 grade A vanilla bean (optional)
Dash of table salt
2/3 cup dutch-processed cocoa or 1/2 cup cocoa powder (I love Valrhona, for non-alkalized, Scharffen Berger is one of our favorites)

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, grind chocolate chips until they resemble a powder, or small pebbles.
  • Slice vanilla bean in half lengthwise, use knife to scrape seeds. Put seeds and bean into sugar. Massage for about one minute.
  • Mix vanilla sugar, chocolate, and cocoa. Place in a plastic bag and store in dark cupboard or inside paper bag to reserve cocoa flavor. You may also store in a glass canning jar or tin for you or for gifting. (Just a quick note: darker containers are better for storing chocolate. Flavor will suffer and diminish over time if chocolate is left in light. However, in a plastic bag or glass jar, the mixture will still be very good for about a month.)
