Hot Chocolate Mix

Hot chocolate!! It's definitely one of the best things about Christmas. Loads of hot chocolate. I actually quite like this recipe. It's very chocolatey.

Honestly, you can add hot water or hot milk in it. I find that if you make this with hot milk it's a lot creamier and less likely to clump than when I made this with hot water. Sorry Alton. :P
