Homemade Hot Cocoa?

I've heard a lot of people talk about the recipes on http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com I've never tried them myself, though.
Me too Teacherturnedmom!! I have looked over a ton of recipes awhile ago on there. I might try some of them this year. I am hoping to get a freezer chest or get my dad's extra refrig/freezer out of storage but it is a little buried in the back corner right now. Once I am able to get that then I can start doing the OAMC's(which I have been dying to get started on).
I have made it for the past two years. I'll have to go dig out my recipe. I would suggest making a half recipe of any hot cocoa mix you find. I have tried a couple and even with the one I have I end up adding stuff to it to get the flavor I wantand that my kids like. I find I usually add extra instant chocolate milk mix (Nesquik is the one I like) and sugar. I know some people use instant chocolate pudding mix to add to the chocolate flavor. I haven't tried that yet but I think it would be yummy. Okay I'll go find my recipe and be back.
Okay found it! Like I said I would make a half batch so you can taste it and make changes to fit your taste. This is the base recipe I make changes every and never write them down so I have do the same trial every time (you think I'd learn).
Hot Chocolate Mix:
5 cups dry powdered milk
6oz. non-dairy creamer (you can use flavored if you want)
2 cups powdered sugar
3 cups instant chocolate drink mix ( I like NesQuik)
Mix well in a large bowl. place in airtight containers. Can last up to 6 months.
You can blend it to get a better mix. It will also look more like store bought.
Add 3 Tbsp. to 1 cup hot water.
Play with it and have fun!

Mexican Hot Cocoa
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons Nestle Toll House baking cocoa
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/3 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a small heavy-duty saucepan; combine sugar, cocoa and cinnamon.
Over medium heat, gradually stir in milk and stir constantly until hot, do not boil.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Beat with a wire whisk until frothy and pour into cups. Serve immediately.
I top mine with a smirl of whipcream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings. :grin:

Patteemom - thanks for the recipe. I definitely want to try it out. It's wet and a gloomy here in Vancouver, I could do with a warm, chocolate drink. :rain:
