    Bones' Hot Cocoa Mix For Christmas


    Source of Recipe


    Buddy Cookbook

    List of Ingredients




    2 cups nonfat dry milk
    1 cup sugar
    1/2 cup cocoa
    1/2 cup non-dairy creamer
    1 dash of salt
    miniature marshmallows, optional

    Recipe



    Combine ingredients and mix well. Store in an airtight container. Yield 4 cups mix

    To make Hot Cocoa Mix:

    Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of mix to your favorite mug and fill with boiling water. Stir to blend. Add some marshmallows or cream.

    Sometimes we like to add some miniature marshmallows to the mix and then fill a quart jar with the cocoa mix and miniature marshmallows combination. The marshmallows dry and get firm, but soften when hot water is added.

    For gift giving, one year we used clean one-quart mayonnaise jars for the cocoa mix. On red paper, my son wrote the directions and added a cute poem. He cut it out with pinking shears and glued it onto the jar. We used regular canning lids and rings for the jars rather than the mayonnaise lids. Add a circle of holiday fabric, which has been trimmed with pinking shears and tie with some raffia or ribbon. You can also attach a peppermint stick or candy cane to top of the jar with the raffia or ribbon. This gift is always well received!
