Dear Reader-
Are you ready to enjoy an uber yummy cup of hot cocoa and have tons of the mix left over to giveaway as homemade Christmas Gifts?
It is a secret family recipe…
Well sorta…
If Phoebe style counts ;)…
Phoebe’s grandma must be relation, cause my family recipe for cocoa mix is from her family’s site… just sayin’
I just love the rich chocolate flavor from this easy peasy recipe!
4 ingredients and you’re done…
Grab a four year old to do the manual labor…
I am sure any chocolate crazed four year old will do…
I happen to have the cute pink 2007 model.
Now, have said 4 year old pour 1 1/2 Cups Sugar in a LARGE mixing bowl.
Then add 1 Cup and 2 T Cocoa…
And 6 Cups Dry Nonfat Milk…
Now if you are anything like me, that first bowl was too small…
There is no shame in upgrading to a bigger bowl…
Now, don’t try to stir it in the too full bowl…
Come on now– I you know better than that… ahem…
Now have that kid mix it all up…
Add in 1 1/2- 2 cups Mini Marshmallow
Reward the help…
Now pour the mix into two quart jars and tap down on the counter to make it all fit.
Add 1/2 Cup Cocoa to 1 Cup of Warmed Milk
Top with Whipped Cream if desired…

December 3, 2011 at 10:50 pmI made real hot chocolate for the grandsons today. I don’t know if they’d ever had anything other than Swiss Miss before, so it was a new taste experience for them. And of course I gave them candy canes to stir it with, so it was pretty spectacular. This is such a great treat idea – I am going to use this!
