homemade hot chocolate recipe

[lilallybean]

A friend had given me a recipe for a hot chocolate mix a few years ago. It was wonderful! I have misplaced the recipe and my friend got divorced and moved away about two years ago. I would love to find a recipe similar to it again. Tis the time of year to start snuggling and drinking hot chocolate. :love
I remember that it was all dry ingredients that you mixed together in a LARGE container. The ingredients that I do remember or at least think I remember are: coffee, powder sugar, nestle quick powder, coffee creamer ...I know there was more! Can anybody help a sappy gal find the recipe? I have searched the net with no luck yet. Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks so very much Margie J!!! I will try these and see how they are! I can't wait to get started on them. This just proves that Disney folks are the most helpful!

here is a simple one that is the best !

- premium unsweetened powdered cocoa. 2 tablespoons or to taste. I like mine strong and rich.

- 2 tablespoons of white surgar or to taste.

- 1 cup of milk. 2 % or to taste.

heat on low and stir until it starts to boil and let it sit for about 5 minutes with the burner off. but make sure it does not burn..mmmmmmmm.

tip. prestir cocoa into a little bit of cold milk to disolve. and then add more milk in later. this could also be a little bit of water.

if you mix a little half and half cream in it will make it richer.

like I said.. I like it rich and strong.... MMMMM. a must try.

this was passed on to me by a ship mate (cook) when I was in the navy.
