#yes i am ‘there was no hot chocolate powder in the uk in my childhood’ years old

Anyway this is your regular reminder that you too can make dark hot chocolate by simple expedient of adding more cocoa powder to store bought hot chocolate

This is not superior to proper cocoa but it’s close and much easier if you’ve always had premixed hot chocolate powder, because getting the right sugar-to-cocoa ratio is a delicate art and goes Horribly Wrong extremely quickly

In emergency situations you can bake with hot chocolate powder but

1) fucking don’t

2) reduce the sugar to compensate

Orange extract is also good to add in Very Very Small Amounts

Do Not Fuck This Up
