Swiss Miss? What’s that?

From the infrequently updated recipe files:

Better Than Store-Bought Hot Chocolate Mix

Mix in a cup or jug:

  • 1/3 cup dry milk powder
  • 1 heaping tsp cocoa powder
  • 2 heaping tsp sugar

Add 8 oz hot water.

Stir.

Enjoy.

This is better and cheaper than the packaged varieties, and you know what’s in it, unlike the other stuff:

sugar, modified whey, cocoa (processed with alkali), hydrogenated coconut oil, nonfat milk, calcium carbonate, less than 2% of: salt, dipotassium phosphate, mono- and diglyderides, artificial flavor, carrageenan.

I have been making hot cocoa from scratch (oooh, tricky: heating milk and adding the other two ingredients) for a while, and after talking to someone about an upcoming girl scout camping trip, I decided to try a dry mix that they could take along without needing to heat up milk.
