Homemade Hot Chocolate

This is an old favorite in our house.  I shared this recipe last year and thought with the cold weather and Christmas almost upon us, that I would share it once again!  (The photo of Kiddo #3 is from last year's batch.  You can probably tell that he looks much younger!)  :-)

The Kiddos and I like to make this up and place it in a festive mug for Christmas gifts.  Kiddo #4 is giving one to her sewing instructor this year.

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups powdered milk

1/8 cup cocoa

1/3 cup sugar

mini marshmallows (optional)

Directions

Mix the ingredients together and store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

When you are ready to use, scoop out 1/2 cup of the mix and place in an empty 12-ounce mug.  (My daughter used  about 3 tablespoons for about 8 ounces) Fill the mug the rest of the way up with boiling water, but leave room for a few marshmallows!  Or, if you prefer, add whipped cream.  Enjoy. 

We love it here.  Hope you do, as well!  :-)
