Thrifty Hot Chocolate Recipe
I was visiting Revka’s “The Porch Light” and found a recipe for hot chocolate. You can make a bunch of it and put it into jars for gifts. I like to see those homemade gifts that are put into old-fashioned mason jars with cute fabric on top. Here’s the recipe:
Heavenly Hot Chocolate Mix
10 2/3 c. powdered milk
6 oz. jar nonfat powdered dairy creamer
4 c. confectioners’ sugar
3 1/2 c. cocoa powder (can use hot chocolate mix like NesQuik)Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. (I recommend processing the powdered milk in a blender to break down the large particles into a fine powder.) Stir gently to mix well. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. This makes about 18 cups of mix. To use mix, add 3 or 4 tablespoons of the mix per cup of water.
Be sure to stop by “The Porch Light” for more information on this recipe.

[...] One thing that seems popular here in Pennsylvania are homemade mixes (you see them some in Indiana, but not like you do here). You can even buy homemade mixes in stores here. Thrifty Mommy has submitted a recipe for Hot Chocolate Mix (and what’s more wintry than hot chocolate?) Yes, I know, hot chocolate isn’t technically a dessert — but isn’t it really? [...]

I love making my own hot chocolate mix!
My recipe is similar only it called for regualr white sugar, I’ll have to try the powdered & see how it changes it. YUMMY!!!
