can i turn this hot chocolate mix into hot chocolate bombs?

Yes! We don't have a specific recipe for hot chocolate bombs, but you can fill any hot chocolate bomb shell with 1-2 tablespoons of this hot chocolate mix and a few mini vegan marshmallows.

what is the difference between cocoa powder and hot cocoa mix?

Cocoa powder is pure, unsweetened chocolate that has been ground into a powder form. Hot cocoa mix, on the other hand, is typically cocoa powder mixed with sugar. For this reason, the two cannot be used interchangeably.

is hot cocoa better with milk or water?

Traditional hot chocolate is very rich and indulgent. This hot cocoa mix can be made into hot chocolate using either milk or water, but if you want a rich, indulgent flavor, we highly recommend using milk.

Instructions

Chop the dark chocolate into small chunks if needed. Add the cacao powder, coconut sugar, dark chocolate and salt to a food processor or high speed blender and blend all of the ingredients together until uniform.
Carefully transfer to an air-tight container or mason jar and top it with marshmallows. You may need 1 to 2 jars depending on the size you use. I used a 16 oz jar, and had some leftover to fit in an 8 oz jar, so it was about 24 oz total.
To serve: In a medium pot over medium heat, whisk 3 tablespoons of the mix together with 1 cup non-dairy milk. Heat just until it comes to a low boil. Remove it from heat and serve with a big dollop of So Delicious Cocowhip and garnishes of your choice. Enjoy!

Notes

The nutrition facts are only for the hot chocolate mix itself and do not take into consideration the non dairy milk.
