Combine all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend in 15-second intervals until well combined. Let powder settle for a minute before opening. Transfer to gifting jars or tins. When gifting, include these instructions: “Whisk together 1/3 cup of the hot chocolate mix and 8 ounces (1 cup) of water (or milk, if preferred). Top with marshmallows and warm up your winter!” Paired gifts could include marshmallows, a mug, or a small whisk. Makes 62/3 cups, which fills about four 16-ounce Mason jars.
NOTE: The age of your cinnamon and cayenne could affect their flavor. Add more or less to taste.
