After a cool evening walk, one of our favorite things to do is grab a cup of hot cocoa! Here’s a quick recipe that will keep your family warm throughout the season!
The basic recipe is made by adding 3 parts nonfat dry milk & 2 parts semisweet chocolate chips.
Example:
3 cups instant nonfat dry milk & 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12 oz.).
After you mix the amount desired, mix 1/2 of the recipe at a time in a food processor. Store in an airtight container.
To serve, place 3 heaping spoons of mix in a cup of hot water.
If you’d like, you could add a bit of vanilla or marshmallows to your cup.
* This recipe can be stored for up to 6 months!
This would make a great gift for friends, teachers, the mail man, bus driver, or anyone for that matter! Simply put mix in a pretty tin or jar, and include the directions for making on a nice card that you could attach to the container.
You could also put some of the mix in a zip lock bag, stuff that into a nice coffee mug, and attach the recipe for the mix on a handcrafted note card (brown paper bag with a stencil or stamp would be really nice!), and add a cinnamon stick or two. This would also make a great addition to a gift basket.

To stop the mess made by pouring pancake batter from the bowl, squeeze your pancakes into the pan using a meat baster!

To the instant milk and chocolate chips, you also could add vanilla powder and the marshmallows in the dry mix. Then all the person that you give it to has to do is add the hot water after scooping the dry mix into a cup.
