Re: [Homesteadingfamily] Powdered Hot Cocoa mix

Hi Jennie
Here is a recipe I've been making for years.
I make this w/ sugar for my husband and for me I sub splenda for the sugar and SF pudding.
Its really good and everyone loves it. Hope you do too

* 4 cups instant nonfat dry milk powder
* 1-1/2 to 2 cups sugar
* 1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer (coffee lightener like Creamora)
* 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
* 1 package of instant store-bought chocolate OR vanilla pudding mix (optional, but very good)
Measure all of the ingredients into a dry clean bowl. Use a whisk to sort of stir everything together. If the cocoa clumps up, smash the little balls with a fork. When everything is evenly distributed, transfer the Hot Cocoa Mix to a clean coffee can, or a sealed canister. Use 2 cups of sugar if you are making this for kids. The extra sweetness makes it especially kid-friendly. For grown-ups you could add 1/4 cup of instant coffee for a nice mocha flavor.
To Prepare: Spoon 1/3 cup of the hot cocoa mix into a cup or mug. Add boiling water to the top, stir and serve.

Subject: [Homesteadingfamily] Powdered Hot Cocoa mix

Does anyone have a homemade powdered hot cocoa mix they make for home? I am looking for a good recipe so I can make it like the instant powder - I just prefer to make it myself.

Any help is appreciated. (I love the groups, read posts, rarely comment..kind of a lurker if you are wondering who I am!)
