Hot Cocoa Mix
This mix will make enough for a few servings.

1½ cups chocolate chips
¼ teaspoon salt Whisk together all ingredients in a large bowl. Then working in two batches, pulse the ingredients in a food processor until the chocolate is finely ground.

To make hot cocoa, put 1/3 cup of the cocoa mix in a mug and stir in 1 cup of hot milk.

You can store this in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
