1 c. sugar
dash of salt

NUKED COCOA
(modified version of the Hershey's can-side recipe)
2 tsp cocoa *

1 tsp sugar *
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Milk (12 oz. or so for a typical mug)
Mix with a bit of milk (1 oz or so) in mug.  Nuke mug for about 30-50 seconds.  Stir until the heated cocoa dissolves.  Fill mug with milk. Nuke for 1-2 minutes, depending on wattage and preferences as to burnt mouth parts.
HOT CHOCOLATE NON-DAIRY
3/4 cup pure coconut milk 
1/4 cup water (If you use light coconut milk DO NOT ADD WATER.) 
1/2 tablespoon carob powder 
raw honey to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon) 
Combine coconut milk, water and carob powder. Blend with a wire whisk, heat on stove top or microwave. Add honey to taste. 
HOT CHOCOLATE 
3 cups instant nonfat dry milk
2 cups (12 oz) chocolate chips and 
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows 
Whirl half the milk and half the chips in a food processor or blender until finely ground.  Take care not to grind past that or the mix will clump.  Do the same with the other halves of milk and chips, put everything in a bowl and stir in the marshmallows.  Package in an airtight container (can be stored up to 6 months).  When using, just mix to taste with boiling water. 

Vary the chips .... semisweet, milk, mint, malted milk chips and malted milk powder substitute for the milk or white chocolate.  You can use half peanut-butter or butterscotch chips.  You can add in flavorings like coffee powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, or orange peel.
