In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, powdered milk, cornstarch, and salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
If using, add the vanilla powder for an extra layer of flavor. Mix well.
Stir in the mini chocolate chips or grated chocolate to give the mix a rich, creamy texture when prepared.
Transfer the mix to an airtight container or jar for storage. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
To prepare a cup of hot chocolate, heat 1 cup of milk (or water, for a lighter version) until steaming. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the hot chocolate mix until fully dissolved.
Serve immediately and garnish with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired. Enjoy!
