Time 10m

Yield 72 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (8 quart) box powdered milk
1 (6 ounce) jar coffee creamer (not flavored-actually they didn't have that kind back when I received this recipe)
1 lb powdered sugar
1 (16 ounce) can powdered cocoa mix

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients and store in air tight container.
  • I use the gallon size ice cream plastic container to store.
  • Use 1/4 cup mix with 3/4 cup hot water.
  • Add marshmallows or whatever topping you normally would to hot chocolate.
  • Okay, I'm not the math whiz and I'm guessing on the servings, all I know it makes a lot.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the hot chocolate will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overheat the milk: Overheating the milk can cause the chocolate to curdle.
  • Add flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your hot chocolate, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, or peppermint.
  • Use a whisk: A whisk will help to blend the chocolate and milk together smoothly.
  • Froth the milk: Frothing the milk will make your hot chocolate extra creamy and delicious.
  • Top with whipped cream: Whipped cream is the perfect finishing touch for a cup of hot chocolate.

Conclusion:

Hot chocolate is a classic winter drink that is easy to make and enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and comforting cup of hot chocolate that will warm you up on a cold day. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, reach for a cup of hot chocolate.
