Minty Rich hot cocoa


We made our first batch of hot cocoa mix for fall/winter season. I love making this for the boys to have easy access to a nice warm drink. Today is such a drizzly fall day, perfect for hot cocoa or hot tea. Micah chose a pear white tea and Nate is drinking hot cocoa. The whistle of my tea pot is music to my ears, it makes me smile :) Nate is sitting on the couch sipping his cocoa and doing his math. Micah is reading at the table drinking his tea. I have my coffee in hand, doing my normal list making, budget, menus... etc. Here is the mix recipe that I used.








1 1/2 cups powdered nondairy creamer
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
6 tbls unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 granulated sugar (can use raw sugar and reduce)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
16 peppermint sticks, coarsely crushed
1 cup milk chocolate chips

place 1/4 cup cocoa mix into cup. Add 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir and ENJOY!!!
