hot chocolate [re-post of recipe]

[Guest guest]

Yes, we make our own hot chocolate mix all

the time. My kids really prefer it to the stuff

you buy in the store.

It is made from powdered items so it keeps

just as long as regular hot chocolate mixes.

i have shared the recipe i use here before so

it should be in our files under 'Master Mixes'.

Here is a repost of the recipe:

 

Hot Cocoa Mix

 

6 & 2/3 cups nonfat dry milk powder

1 cup instant chocolate drink mix

1 package ( 5 oz) cook-and-serve chocolate pudding mix

1/2 cup confectioners sugar

1/2 cup powdered non-dairy creamer

1/2 cup baking cocoa

 

ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS:

1 cup boiling water

 

In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients.

Store in an airtight container in a cool dry

place for up to 3 months.

Yield: 21 cups of cocoa ( about 7 cups of mix total)

 

To Prepare Hot Cocoa: Dissolve 1/3 cup cocoa mix

in boiling water.
