Creamy Rich Hot Cocoa Mix

• 2 cups powdered milk
• 1/2 cup powder for making chocolate milk (like Nestle, only I used a store brand)
• 1/2 cup powdered coffee creamer
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. Stir so that everything is evenly distributed. Transfer the mixture to a quart-sized storage container. Store on the pantry shelf. Makes about 3-1/2 cups.

To Prepare: Spoon 1/3 cup of Mix into a mug. Add boiling water and stir to dissolve. Serve hot.

This is the richest hot chocolate mix I make. It isn’t as cheap as the other recipe, and you’ll notice I don’t make it in such a large amount. It is very sweet and creamy though, and the kids like it for dessert.

If this mix is a little rich for your taste, try this hot cocoa mix. It’s another recipe from my frugal beverage collection.
