Hot Cocoa Mix

by Heather on April 2nd, 2008

It may officially be spring but that doesn’t necessarily mean the days are warming up and staying warm! Instead of making hot chocolate one cup at a time, why not make an entire batch of mix that you can pull out whenever Mother Nature decides to throw a cold front around?

Hot Cocoa Mix

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

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.

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.
