I know calling anything the best is pretty subjective, but guys, I don’t think anyone would argue with me on this one.
My kids beg for this hot chocolate all fall and winter long, so I always have a big jar of this mix on hand.
I make hot chocolate by the pitcher for my family, and I’ve even been known to add some to my coffee. Mocha latte, anyone? SO yummy!!
How do you drink your hot cocoa?
Plain and simple?
Loaded with marshmallows?
Piled high with whipped cream and sprinkles?
I almost always drink mine half hot chocolate, half coffee.
The baby (ok, fine, he’s a toddler now) drinks his half hot cocoa, half plain milk.
The other 4 kids seem to always be trying to out do each other with the amount of marshmallows or whipped cream they add.
And all of December they think a candy cane stirrer is mandatory.
So tell me, what does your mug of hot cocoa look like?
No matter how you dress it up, this mix is simply the best. You can even make it with dark cocoa powder, if that’s your preference.
Enjoy!

I use light because that’s what I keep on hand. Either one would work though!

I’ve always made a mix with dry milk. When I mixed this up, I put the required amount in a cup of hot water, since I assumed it would be mixed with water too.. It tasted too chocolatey to me, but my husband thought it was good. I then read the recipe and saw I should have added it to milk. Instead, I mixed dry milk in the mix. I didn’t measure, just until it tasted good in a cup of hot water. I also added cinnamon and turmeric to the mix. They’re really good for you and I add them to everything I can. We use our Keurig for hot water, so I didn’t want to heat milk.
