You can grab a box of the pre~made stuff off the super market shelf, but why? With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time you can have a cup of delicious hot cocoa in no time at all. This mix will take you through a long winter! Since Michigan winters can be brutal I usually make this in large batches “dark, milk & white chocolate” and send them to all the grand kids! I’ve been making this for years and I will add different toppings in the box. When you live so far from family, you have to keep the grand kids spoiled from a far!

Ingredients For hot cocoa mix done two ways!

  • 2 & ¾ cup none fat dry milk powder
  • 2 cups powered non dairy creamer
  • 1 cup confectionary sugar “ sifted “
  • ¾ cups baking cocoa, not the hot cocoa mix
  • 1 ~ 3.56 ounce box instant dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate pudding

How To Make hot cocoa mix done two ways!

  • 1
    Sift each ingredient separately “ but into the same bowl.
  • 2
    Add the pudding and sift again.
  • 3
    Once I have all the ingredients sifted, I re-sift everything again. That way you are sure there are no lumps.
  • 4
    This will keep in an air tight container for several months.
  • 5
    TO PREPARE THE COCOA:
  • 6
    Place 1/3 cup in a mug and add 2 % hot milk. If you want this even richer use whole milk or ½ & ½ instead of the 2% milk.
  • 7
    VARIATIONS:
  • 8
    Instant milk chocolate pudding, white chocolate pudding, etc.
  • 9
    OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
  • 10
    Whipped cream Mini marshmallows Mini chocolate chips Mini white chocolate chips Crushed peppermint candy
  • 11
    Always add a new 1/3 cup measuring cup, and don’t forget to add the instructions!
  • 12
    And if you are making both dark and white chocolate cocoa at the same time, label them right away because there really isn’t much difference in the color, only in the amazing taste!
