Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix

Ingredients:

• 2 c. powdered sugar
• 1.5 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 c. INSTANT dry milk powder (do not use non-instant....ask me how I know)
• 1/2 c. French vanilla coffee creamer
• Nestle Tollhouse Peppermint Hot Cocoa Morsels & More, mini marshmallows, Peppermint Reddi-Whip, and/or other optional stir-ins

In a large bowl, whisk together the first two ingredients. Then add the rest. Mix well and store in an airtight container.

To make the cocoa:

Place 1/3 c. mix in the bottom of a mug. Add 1 cup warm milk or hot water (my kids like to do half milk and half water. Personally, I prefer warm milk, but you do what you want) and stir until all the mix is dissolved. Top with peppermint bits, whipped cream, marshmallows, etc. as desired.
