I think this sugar-free hot chocolate mix nails it.

If you have a diabetic-friendly pantry, you will already have the ingredients on hand. Make some mix and keep it on hand for the next snowy day. This sugar-free hot chocolate mix is what we use in our Sugar-Free Hot Chocolate Bombs.
I was working on my hot chocolate mix to go into my sugar-free hot chocolate bombs and the mix turned out so good I just had to post it before I get my bombs made. I am looking forward to completing the hot chocolate bombs and enjoying a hot cup of hot chocolate.
The best thing about this sugar-free hot chocolate mix is that if you make it with water it has only 6 grams of carbs per cup. WHOA! Yay for the diabetic-friendly sugar-free hot chocolate mix. Remember if you are using milk to account for the carbs in milk.
Carbs in 1 cup of milk are as follows: skim (non-fat) =12 grams, 1% = 12 grams, 2% = 12 grams, 3.5% = 11 grams, Almond milk (unsweetened) =1 gram.

Even though there aren’t many carbs in milk, it can elevate your sugar if you don’t account for it. After all, It all adds up.

How to Make Sugar-free Hot Chocolate Mix
To Bump up your cup of hot chocolate, and make it even creamier, which is when it’s at its best, add some hot skim milk. I added a half cup of skim milk and used a frother to make it nice and creamy. If you don’t have a frother, I recommend one, they bump up your hot chocolate to the next level and can be used on many other hot drinks.
This is diabetic-friendly but tastes so good that no one will even know it’s sugar-free. My daughter, who loves sweets and is not a diabetic had a cup and said it was really good. She was shocked when I told her that it was sugar-free,
when choosing a cocoa powder, I recommend a good quality brand. There is a slight difference in chocolate flavour in the different brands. I used Ghirardelli for my mix and found it has a rich chocolatey flavour.
