Homemade Hot Chocolate

This recipe is so simple! It makes a huge batch, and creatively wrapped, makes a perfect little Christmas gift. The photo here is of those I packaged up for my Difference Makers kids. Since they absolutely LOVED it when I served it after Ding-Dong-Decorate-and-Ditch, they were tickled to receive some more to take home.

Four Simple Ingredients:


1 8-qt box of powdered milk (no, Matty, you cannot substitute the liquid variety, haha)
1 22-oz Cremora (some people say they use the flavored kind, but I just keep to the plain stuff)
1 box of confectioner's sugar
1 2-lb box Nestle's Quick

Just dump it all in a BIG container and mix it up!  I'll warn you that it's not cheap to make, but it really does make a LOT. I couldn't even fit all of mine in my largest mixing bowl--I dumped it all into a huge stockpot to mix it. The powdered milk was $13.00, but it was twice what I actually needed, so I'll be making another batch, which Kendall plans to give to her friends as Christmas gifts.

This is really a treat. For the adults on your list, you could also make my Aunt Mary's Homemade Bailey's Irish Cream. (I guess I'll have to post that recipe, too!)
