Hot Coco Mix

So I ran out of hot coco mix and decided to try this recipe I found on Allrecipes.com. It turned out really good. I only had hazelnut creamer so I used that. I like that I can store the mix and don't have to use milk or the stove like regualr homemade a;so it is a way to use up my dry milk :) I converted the recipe to 1 serving which is the first on but the original is 45 servings. I also used only like 1/4 a cup not 1/3 but that's because I didn't have a big mug.


Ingredients- 1 serving=1/3 cup mix

  • 3 tablespoons and 1-3/4 teaspoons dry milk powder
  • 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 1-3/4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1-3/4 teaspoons powdered non-dairy creamer

Ingredients- 45 servings

  • 10 cups dry milk powder
  • 4 3/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered non-dairy creamer

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine milk powder, confectioner's sugar, cocoa powder, and creamer. Stir till thoroughly combined. Store cocoa mixture in an airtight container. Makes about 15 cups mix, or enough for about 45 servings.
  2. For 1 serving, place 1/3 cup cocoa mixture in a coffee cup or mug, and add 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir to dissolve. Top with dollop of whipped cream or a few marshmallows, if desired.
