Hot Cocoa Mix Recipe with Powdered Milk

I live in the mid-west, which means snowmageddon is normal. It’s just another day. The last one would have left us buried had my husband not stayed on top of clearing the driveway – he cleared it 4 times in less than 24 hours!

We have a small hill in the front of our house, so our son likes to bundle up and head out to play in the snow at the same time my husband is clearing the driveway. He finds great fun in shielding himself from the blowing snow with his sled, so he always comes in the house covered in snow! I see no better way to warm up then with a cup of this Homemade Hot Cocoa! 

If you need more warmth, a hot bowl of Vegetarian Chili or Beefless Stew should do the trick!

What You’ll Need:

• 2 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
• 2 1/2 cups Powdered Milk
• 1 cup Cocoa Powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2tsp Corn Starch

How to Make Homemade Hot Cocoa

• Combine 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 2 1/2 cups powdered milk, 1 cup cocoa powder, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tsp corn starch in a large bowl and mix well.
• When ready to use, add 3 tbsp of hot cocoa mix to 8 oz of hot water or milk. Add more mix to taste. Stir well to combine.
• Hot Cocoa mix can be stored in a zip lock bag or air tight container at room temperature for a very long time.
• This recipe makes a huge batch. To save on storage, I recommend cutting the recipe in half.
