Last week I posted a Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix that was definitely NOT sugar free. Well, I have a reader who wants to make her own hot chocolate mix but can’t have sugar so she asked me if I would mind trying to create her a sugar free version.
I gave it my best shot and thought I would share it with everyone that can’t have or doesn’t want a hot chocolate mix with sugar in it. So Pam, this recipe is dedicated to you:)
My taste testers, who also happen to be my children, gave it two thumbs up:) It’s chocolaty, rich and creamy. What more could you ask?
Give this sugar free hot chocolate mix recipe a try and let me know what YOU think!

Pam
Your very welcome Pam! I hope you enjoy it:) BTW: The kids said “anytime”!
Sounds delish Adrian! Love that you made a sugar free version. I have been thinking lately that I need to lay off the sugar…like that’s gonna happen.
I wonder if you could use Truvia in lieu of Splenda? Think it would measure the same?
Sharing!! (in my sing song voice)
Thanks Bobbi! I looked into Truvia vs Splenda and everything I’ve read said to use LESS Truvia than you would Splenda. I would try making it with maybe a third of the Truvia and then add more if needed. Hope that helps:)
Great idea, I love this for a gift!
Yep, I make it for the kids to give their teachers as a Christmas present:)

This looks good. I think I might try it with stevia. Thanks for sharing! I found you on the Tasty Tuesday link up.
Thank you for sharing this. My husband is diabetic. I think I’ll whip some of this up for him. I definitely like my chocolate with sugar
Thanks Melissa! I hope he enjoys it as much as my kids did:)
This is so great. There are so many people avoiding sugar for different reasons and it’s so nice they can still have hot chocolate but not all the sugar that is usually in it. How sweet of you to come up with this recipe for one of your readers. Stopping by from Home Matters Linky Party.

First hot chocolate mix I’ve seen that’s sugar-free, well done! Thanks so much for linking up at the #homematters linky party! We hope to see you again this coming Wednesday!
Thanks Kristen! I’ll be there if at all possible:)
I will have to make this for my mother-in-law who is diabetic. Thanks for linking up to the Tasty Tuesdays Linky Party at Creative K Kids. I have pinned this post to the Tasty Tuesdays Linky Party.
This was very, very good! I made it, along with 4 different homemade hot chocolate mixes WITH sugar. I had my family do a blind taste test with the 5 different homemade mixes (including this one)…. and this recipe WON! I didn’t tell them it was the one hot chocolate that was sugar-free until AFTER the voting! Thanks!
That’s awesome, Paula! We really like this recipe. I’m glad your family enjoys it too:)
