If using powdered coconut milk, proceed to step 2. If using shredded coconut, pulse it in a food processor until finely ground, resembling powdered coconut milk.
In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, powdered coconut milk or ground coconut, powdered buttermilk, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gently stir in freeze-dried almonds and mini white chocolate chips.
Fold in mini marshmallows carefully to preserve their fluffiness.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
Create a decadent Almond Joy Hot Chocolate by adding 2-3 tablespoons of the mix to 8-10 oz of hot milk. Stir until well combined and top with whipped cream, toasted coconut, and sliced almonds.
