If you have children at home, you would definitely have chocolate mixtures. Loaded with sugar, chocolate, and other essential nutrients (that no child ever cares about), these combinations are the perfect ingredients to make irresistible desserts at home. They can replace chocolate, cocoa powder, and chocolate powder in certain recipes, making them a go-to choice for parents looking to bake an instant sweet delight.

Most of these delights contain sugar, therefore, you don’t have to worry about balancing sweet notes with the bitterness of chocolate. This makes your task easier and makes the dessert taste oh-so delicious. Here are a few chocolate dessert recipes that you can try out at home or add to the menu of the next children’s party you will be hosting.
Pudding
You can chocolate drink mixtures to make pudding. You will need sugar, milk, chocolate drink mixture, and dark chocolate sauce. Start with heating milk until soft bubbles start forming on its surface. Add chocolate drink mixture and sugar to it. Once the mixture starts to thicken, remove it from the heat and add it to shot glasses or glass containers of your choice. After refrigerating for two hours, serve it chilled to children as well as adults.
Hot Cocoa
Winter is considered the best time to drink hot cocoa, but it can be a relaxing beverage in summer too. The best part of this recipe is it does not take too much time to complete. Take milk in a saucepan and heat it on medium flame. Make sure it does not start to boil. Add chocolate drink mix and mini chocolate chips. Keep stirring the beverage so that chocolate chips melt. Wait for the consistency of the drink to thicken. Transfer it into a glass, top it with whipped cream, and dust it off with chocolate powder before serving it to children.
Ice Cream
If you don't have vendors selling ice cream in markets, you can make a batch at home. You will be surprised to see how little effort it will take to prepare a large amount of frozen dessert without adding preservatives and other harmful ingredients. Mix the chocolate drink mixture with sweetened condensed milk. Make sure there are no lumps in the concoction. In another bowl, beat heavy cream until you witness soft peaks. Combine the two mixtures and freeze the ice cream. In a few hours, homemade chocolate ice cream will be ready.
Truffles
For any children’s party, truffles seem to be the best additions to the menu. Little sweet delights wrapped in chocolate powder are the answer to impress munchkins or placate a crying one. Chop the dark chocolate and melt it. Add melted butter to the chocolate and whisk the two ingredients for a while. Add a few tablespoons of chocolate drink mixture. Once the mixture has no lumps, refrigerate it for a while so that it thickens. Make truffle balls and roll them in chocolate powder or chocolate drink mixture.
Brownies
Another hit delight you can serve at a children’s party is chocolate brownies topped with the ice cream of your choice. Preheat the oven and keep the baking tray lined with parchment paper ready in the kitchen. Beat butter and sugar together until the mixture is fluffy. Beat eggs and add vanilla extract to them. Combine the two mixtures and pour in the chocolate drink mixture and flour. Once you have a lumpless concoction, pour it on the baking tray. Bake the brownies and serve them at the party.
