Winter is coming (it is chilly here) and I like to have hot cocoa mix for the kids and add peppermint schnapps for Cobalt and I - yum.

The mix in the store is soooooooo expensive this year and Cobalt had mentioned that his mom used to make the mix at home when he was a kid. So an internet search found the very same recipe that she used to make..

Here it is for those who are interested..

1 cup cocoa powder
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups non-dairy powdered coffee creamer
2 cups nonfat dry milk powder

(I used the store brand for this - saves $$$)

I used a Folgers coffee container (plastic) to store this in (it makes that much). I am sitting here having a cup of it and it is better than the store brand one!

I am thinking of trying the flavored coffee creamers in the next batch... Amerreto, Irish Cream or even Hazel Nut sounds pretty good!
