However your little heart desires…translating to mean, with a splash of homemade Irish cream liquor. Or with a splash of infused candy cane vodka. Maybe even with some homemade peppermint marshmallows or perfectly delicious original marshmallows. Just for kicks, and be cause I can, here’s a homemade pumpkin marshmallow recipe.

Hot Chocolate Mix – Ingredients

• 10 cups powder dry milk
• 4 3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder (more if you’re a chocoholic)
• 1 3/4 cups powder non-dairy creamer

Hot Chocolate Mix – Instructions

1. Sift into a large mixing bowl the dried milk powder, the confectioners’ sugar, the cocoa powder, non-dairy creamer powder.
2. Gently fold the ingredients together until they are thorough mixed.
3. Store the homemade hot chocolate mix into airtight containers.

Notes:

• Sifting is an option when it comes to mixing the ingredients, this step can be skipped though it helps to eliminate any lumps.
• Gently fold together the ingredients until they are thoroughly blended.
• To serve use an even ratio of water to hot chocolate mix, more if you’d like. Though warm milk creates a creamer product.

This is an easy to make recipe and a great way to involve the kiddos. Pre-made mixes are now of the past, and this creamy homemade hot chocolate is the future for those seeking warm creamy chocolaty deliciousness!
