We are on our second snowfall for October, right now, here in Colorado. I thought it would be fitting to pull out my homemade hot chocolate recipe. I did not have enough of the ingredients to make my ultra-large batch, but I thought I would it with what I had, and modified the portions. It's been two years, since I last made some. Last year, I got all my hot chocolate boxes free after coupons. My boys raided all of those, and in no time, they were gone! I think I need to add more powdered milk to my grocery list to make more. It would also be nice to have a coffee maker for hot water only! :)
Ingredients:
2/3 cup powdered milk
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tbs cocoa
Mix all ingredients together. For each 1 cup of hot water, use 4 tbs (1/4 cup) of the mix; stir well. This is not a very large batch. I think I got 4 cups of hot chocolate out of it, great for Christmas gifts to teachers.
For a larger batches:
1 1/3 cups powdered milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
2 2/3 cups powdered milk
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
5 1/3 cups powdered milk
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup cocoa
10 2/3 cups powdered milk
4 cups powdered sugar
2 cups cocoa
