As I prepare for Christmas - Yes, I am a seasonal cook. My thoughts turn to all the wonderful items to give as Gifts.
Why not some Hot Chocolate Mix?
This makes a huge amount, and you can adjust as you wish, according to your tastes. I run heavy to chocolate.
This is also great as a food storage item.
Hot Chocolate Mix
1 (25.6 oz.) pkg. instant non fat dry milk - or (10 - 2/3 cups)instant works best
1 (6 oz.) jar imitation powdered cream (coffee type creamer)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 (16 oz) can instant chocolate drink mix
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Put into a large airtight container or several containers with instructions on how to use. Label and Store. Must be used in 6 months --- makes about 100 cups, give or take.
I then put the containers into the freezer. This keeps it from getting weavels.
Yes, I freeze all my mixes and dry goods. At any given time, you will find cake mixes, flour, sugar, etc. all in the freezer. All there for their 24 hour therapy.
For Hot Cocoa - I put between 2-3 Tbs. per 1 cup of hot water to make my cocoa.
I have been to LOTS of Girls' Camps, plus several children and this is one item always in my stash, a container of Hot Chocolate Mix.
Eat up!
