Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

‘Tis the season to warm up with a mug of hot chocolate – we like to mix up a big batch of our own, rather than rely on packaged instant hot chocolate, to stir into warmed milk throughout the winter. It’s also an easy thing for kids to measure and stir together – no chopping or heat required – to package up and give to their friends, relatives, even teachers and coaches to say thanks during the festive season. All you need is some skim milk powder, good cocoa, brown sugar, salt and a few handfuls of mini marshmallows.  and a handful of mini marshmallows. Set the kids up with some markers to make labels, and your holiday gift giving is halfway done!

    Hi,

    In describing the recipe, you say to use powdered sugar. Yet in the actual recipe, it’s brown sugar. Just wondering which is correct? Love your recipes!

    Merry Christmas
