My son drinks a lot of hot chocolate in the Winter, and those little packets can cost a lot. He's not big on making his own from cocoa mix. Someone gave me 3 big bags of dry milk the other day. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. HOT CHOCOLATE MIX!!!!
With the help of this recipe: Hot Chocolate Mix, I put together a ton of my own hot chocolate mix. I won't have to buy any all winter. I put into a bowl:
Hot Chocolate Mix
6 cups of Dry Milk Powder
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups sweetened chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon salt
I mixed that all up in a big bowl, put a lid on it and it's in the cupboard. I left out the powder creamer, but that's because I bought a few different flavors and my son adds it in based on his desired tastes that day.
This is a good recipe, and all he has to do is put in a few tablespoons of mix, a cup of milk, and heat it in the microwave for 2 minutes, until the chocolate chips are melted.
My son says, "Bring on winter now." He's ready.
