1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla powder (optional)

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, powdered milk, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until thoroughly combined and smooth.

    Stir in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mix.

      If you choose to use vanilla powder and ground cinnamon, add them to the mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
