I decided to make up a batch of homemade hot cocoa mix the other day. My mom always made this when my sister and I were little, but it had been a long time since I’d made any. I still have some Swiss Miss packets in the pantry, but the kids have been choosing this over the store-bought kind.
It’s really easy to make and you get a lot of mix with one batch. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 cups powdered milk
- 21.8 oz box Nestle’s Quik
- 16oz instant coffee creamer
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Mix all of this together in a big bowl. Pour back into the empty containers to store. To make a mug of cocoa, fill it with water or milk and heat in the microwave. Add 3-5 big spoons of mix to the cup and stir well.
I make this every winter! I leave a canister of it on the counter for the kids!
I used to make this and a friend make “Fireside Cocoa Mix” that has nutmeg and mini marshmallows in it. So yummy!
Oh, my kids would love it if I made this tonight! We’ve run out of our Swiss Miss and I think I have all the ingredients.
Thank you for sharing the recipe!
This is a perfect recipe for a chilly day like today! Thanks Tiffany!
I tried this with Vanilla Caramel creamer, but it tastes more Vanilla Caramel than chocolate. I think I would do half flavored, half plain next time.
Vanilla Caramel sounds really good, maybe even better than chocolate. Great idea!
