Hot Chocolate

This year's neighbor/friend gifts:

Hot chocolate mix with chocolate and candy cane covered spoons.

I really am not a big hot chocolate fan.

I prefer cold drinks for some reason.

I always make my hot chocolate with 1/2 hot and 1/2 cold water.

I hate to wait for it to be the right temperature....

Anyways, I found this recipe and it is yummy!

It makes a ton (45 servings, I believe)

this is how the original recipe read:

10 cups dry milk powder

4 3/4c. powdered sugar

1 3/4c. cocoa powder

1 3/4 c. non dairy creamer (french vanilla)

Some commented on ways to enhance the recipe, I followed their advice:

instead of the measurements above use

1 bag of powdered sugar

1 tin of cocoa powder and

increase creamer to 2 1/4c.

Apparently the original recipe did not have enough sweetness.

Add 1/3 of mixture to 1 cup hot water.

For some reason, the list gets longer each year.

So I have been doing these in cycles.....

can't wait to get them all out of my kitchen.
