HELP! Need hot choc ideas to put in jars (dry) for Xmas gifts
 

Was trying to come up with ideas for hot choc mix to put in jars and have on hand for those drop in guest that come by to visit at holiday time. Anyone have recipes? I think I know what to use but not sure of the amts for each ingredient. Thanks for your help. Merry Christmas

I'm sure you can google it.

I have and so far only came up with reg or peppermint hot choc. Was hoping for something a little different.

How about this? http://cookeatshare.com/recipes/capp...in-a-jar-99356

I buy a large canister of cocoa mix and add flavored creamer. French vanilla and amaretto se's to be everyones' favorites.

my son made it one year, cost a fortune. we used dry milk, very pricy, cocoa powder, chocolate pudding (you're using powdered milk, thickens the hot cocoa) he also made plastic teaspoons dipped in hot cocoa with marshmallows . you could also add a shake of cinnamon or chili powder to add a twist to it.

WOW I think I love this site. Thanks Up North

Lynnie and BakerMom. Very interesting ideas. I will certainly try these too. See I knew our QB members would have great ideas. Thanks!

This is the recipe I used to use:

8 quart box (10-2/3 cups)Carnation brand powdered milk
6 ounces non-dairy ccreamer (Coffee-Mate)
1 one-pound container of Nestle's Quick
2/3 cup (or more)powdered sugar

mix well. Store in a covered container.

To serve: place 1/3 cup (or more) in a cup and add hot water

nutmeg or white chocolate covered spoons with crushed candy cane .....then there is a bunch of different flavored powdered coffee creamers gingerbread /ammeretto/french vanilla that you could ad in addition to the above recipe
