How to make Tim Horton hot chocolate? ›

Preparation And Usage

Directions Place 3 tablespoons (48 g) of Tim Hortons® Hot Chocolate mix into mug. Add 1 cup (250 ml) of hot water or hot milk. Stir well, and enjoy!

Contains Milk. Dairy-free alternative is not available for this drink.

I use one part water to two parts whole milk when I make cocoa, to cut the richness. I vary the amount of cocoa to what my mood is in. Add the cocoa powder in little by little after the sugar and spices and taste often to determine how much powder you need.

Ingredients. Sugars (sugar, Glucose Solids), Modified Milk Ingredients, Cocoa, Coconut Oil, Salt, Cellulose Gum, Dipotassium Phosphate, Silicon Dioxide, Natural Flavours, Sodium Silico Aluminate, Mono- And Diglycerides, Acetylated Tartaric Acid Ester Of Mono- And Diglycerides. Contains: Milk. May Contain: Soy.

Hot Cocoa, however, is made from a powdered base of cocoa with added sugar and dissolved in hot water or hot milk. Most commercial boxed hot chocolate mixes sold in grocery stores are technically hot cocoa rather than hot chocolate because they are made with cocoa powder, powdered milk, and sugar.

The Culprit: Mmm… hot chocolate warms the soul in colder seasons. But it can also pack on the pounds as Tim Hortons' medium Hot Chocolate Supreme has 330 calories, 10 g fat and 49 g of sugar.

You can mix it with warm water or milk, but I recommend milk for the extra creaminess. Can't get enough of Timmies? Try my Tim Hortons Chili next!

Nice and chocolatey, easy to mix and tastes great. Great for our chilly winter nights.

Unsweetened cocoa powder: a high-quality cocoa powder or cacao powder is essential. I highly recommend using Ghirardelli's 100% cocoa. I think it has the best flavor for hot chocolate (and trust me, I've tried quite a few!)

In short, you can use hot chocolate powder as a cocoa powder substitute in a pinch, but you may not experience the depth of flavour you want. Because most brands of hot chocolate powder include sugar or sweetener, you may wish to reduce the amount of sugar you add to your baking recipe.

What's the difference between cocoa powder and hot chocolate? ›

Cocoa Powder: Hot chocolate starts with cocoa powder, which provides a chocolatey flavour. However, hot chocolate mix is distinct from plain cocoa powder, as it often contains added sugar, powdered milk, and sometimes additional flavourings like vanilla or spices.

A quick and easy way to add flavor to your hot chocolate is by adding a splash of your favorite extract. Coconut and almond extracts lend hot chocolate an Almond Joy-like taste, while vanilla adds dimension to the chocolate flavor. Peppermint extract instantly gives the drink a holiday flair.

Hot Cocoa Mix {Big Batch} is a powdery mix made with sugar, cocoa powder, and powdered milk that will be your go-to when it comes to mixing with hot water or milk.
