Frozen Hot Chocolate

frozen hot chocolate

Every year, I receive LOTS of hot chocolate mix from my students. It is THE perfect Christmas time gift. Although I love a good cup of hot chocolate … what I love even more is frozen hot chocolate. And if I’ve got mint chocolate hot chocolate mix on hand … I’m golden.

4 packets of hot chocolate mix (whatever flavor you prefer … I LOVE mint!)

3 cups milk (I used Almond milk … just use whatever you have)

2 cups ice cubes (give or take a few cubes)

Whipped Cream (if you’ve got it)

 

Directions:

Pour milk into blender. Then add hot chocolate mix. Turn the blender on medium speed until mix and milk are fully combined. Then add ice, one cube at a time until desired consistency is reached. Serve it up with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, mini marshmallows, chocolate shavings, etc. Whatever you’ve got! Today, drank it straight … because we didn’t have any toppings. STILL super delicious.

** Basically, you add 1 packet per cup of milk … plus ‘one to grow on’. The extra packet takes into account the ice that you’re adding. If you have 5 packets of mix, use 4 cups milk. You get the idea?

    1. Thanks! I started recipe blogging years ago with some friends on another group blog. Just recently decided to start cooking more ... and I refuse to make anything that isn't super easy. So, I thought I'd share my recipes. Practically nothing is 'original', love Pinterest like that. But, still. It's fun. LOVE your furniture blog! Like, majorly love it. :D
