Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix
Hot Chocolate Mixes are convenient, but usually not fabulous tasting. Too sugary and no depth of rich chocolate flavor.
Now I 'm not saying that it is as good as real hot chocolate but it is pretty delicious and very very easy!
StoneGable Hot Chocolate Mix
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups powdered milk
1/2 cup malted milk
1 cup good double processed dutch cocoa ( I used Godiva)
2 bars good milk chocolate chocolate (Cadburry), grated
1 tsp salt
1 dash cayenne pepper
2 tsp corn starch
1/2 bag mini marshmallows
Mix all ingredients, except marshmallows, in a large bowl. Make sure it is totally incorporated.
Put in a large canister, layer marshmallows.
Put in a large canister, layer marshmallows.
To Serve:
Boil water. Fill a mug or pretty tea cup 1/2 full of hot chocolate mix. Add boiling water and stir. Add extra marshmallows.
StoneGable Hot Chocolate Mix would make a lovely hostess gift or a thoughtful gift for a hot chocolate lover!

OMGoodness, I can barely breath.
ReplyDeleteI have never, in my looong life, seen such beautiful Christmas dishes. They just take my breath away. Sweet Nothings cottage is very modest but I do believe we could make these dishes feel right at home.
Thanks so much for the chance to win such a generous gift.
I am making that mix...all 3 grandsons LOVE hot chocolate and this would make a great "extra" gift.

ReplyDeleteI'm a follower and appreciate the hot chocolate mix recipe. As for the plates, I really like the Star of Bethlehem.

I love your blog. I look at it every week to see what scrumptious recipes you have. Your wreaths and other decorations are breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteThere are two plates I love. The one with Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus which says that "Mary ponder these things in her heart." What a comment and so true of Mothers. I also love the whole manager scene where it talks of Jesus as being Imminent, Mighty Counselor, Prince of Peace.
ReplyDeleteYvonne,
ReplyDeleteI've just posted about your beautiful giveaway!
You hot chocolate mix is absolutely decadent, Yvonne. I love the addition of malt. It reminds me of my favorite summer time treat: chocolate malt shakes. Somebody is going to be one very lucky winner of your wonderful set of dinnerware.
ReplyDeleteThe love gals will enjoy the hot chocolate mix! They love drinking it from lovely cups. Just like their mom.:)
ReplyDeleteI just love Christmas dishes, but these are absolutely beautiful and are representative of the true meaning of Christmas. I am a new follower and love to visit and get ideas for table settings. You do such a great job!
