I don't know where you live, but here in Iowa, winters get very long and frigid. Who doesn't love a hot, steaming cup of rich, chocolaty hot cocoa to make you feel warm and cozy on a cold, snowy night? I have many fond memories of making homemade hot cocoa mix with my mom when I was growing up and it was so delicious! I haven't made any for decades, so I decided that this was the year I was going to do it. And it was well worth it!
Ingredients:
1 pound non-fat, dry milk
2 cups cocoa powder (I used unsweetened cocoa powder)
1 1/2 cups powdered coffee creamer
2 cups powdered sugar
Stir all ingredients together until well-blended and then pour into glass storage jars or a gallon Ziploc bag. To use, place 1/3 cup of the mixture into your cup, add hot water and stir. Mixture may be kept in a freezer bag in the freezer - as if you'll have it around long enough for that. This recipe is so simple and tasty. It is a wonderful flavor you won't be able to resist. I add a peppermint stick or top with whipped cream and cinnamon.
You can double this recipe to split out and give as gifts to family and friends.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas from Siouxland Celiac!
