Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

November 12, 2010 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy 2 Comments

It’s that time of year again. It’s getting cold out. Time to start making hot chocolate!

Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

5 1/2 cups powdered milk
1 1/2 cup cocoa
3 cups sugar
dash of salt

I give it a whirl in the food proccessor to make the milk a finer powder. I had trouble with it not all dissolving when I used it just out of the box. And it makes the texture like store bought mix. I adapted this recipe from another one that used non fat dairy creamer, like for coffee. But when I worked on getting all the trans fat out of our diets, that had to leave. The kids couldn’t tell the difference. They like to have mini marshmallows in theirs. But I like my chocolate straight!

We use 3 – 6 teaspoons, depending on how big your mug is. And how strong you like it to be. 🙂

I keep this in a canister right next to the stove. I don’t have a microwave anymore (and don’t want one) so I use the stove to heat the water.

Here’s the original recipe that I used. It’s very good, and does make a creamier hot chocolate. I just don’t like all the trans-fats. Do they make trans-fat free creamers yet? Anyway, here’s the recipe:

Hot Chocolate Mix

3 pouches dry milk
1 1/2 cups cocoa
3 cups sugar
1 1/3 c ups non dairy creamer
dash of salt

Enjoy a nice cup of hot chocolate with your favorite kids!

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

John 3:16-17 NKJV
