Homemade hot chocolate mix
was something my grandmother would always stir up for Christmas gifts
for her children, grandkids, and their families. I have also found that
it makes a wonderful gift. Here's a gift idea for that hard-to-buy for
older person : A jar of hot chocolate mix, a container of refrigerator
muffin batter, and a box of clementines. We've done this for the past
few years for my mother-in-law (the first year we also included a
six-cup silicone muffin pan) and she looks forward to it. We have the
agreement that I will refill the muffin batter and the hot chocolate as
many times as she wants me to.
My hot chocolate mix is one I developed myself by combining my grandmother's recipe with another one and adding in some ideas of my own. I really like the touch of malted milk flavor in this. Here's the recipe:
HOT CHOCOLATE MIX
5 cups instant nonfat dry milk
2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups instant chocolate drink powder (like Quik)
1 cup malted milk powder, chocolate flavor
1 cup malted milk powder, malt flavor
1 cup non-dairy powdered creamer
1/2 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
Mix all ingredients together thoroughly and store in an airtight container. Include these directions with mix:
* Place 1/3 cup of mix in a large mug. Fill mug with hot water and stir to dissolve. *

ReplyDeleteNikki,
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see you here this evening! I hope your family enjoys the recipe if you try it. I must add that it won't hold a candle to the hot chocolate you made with whole milk and yummy real whipped cream!
December blessings,
