Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

so i came to you all as i don't want to trust the internet searches!
working on xmas gifts for the co-workers and i need a powdered hot chocolate mix to fill my jars. don't want to just by store bought stuff and fill them, i think i can do it cheaper from scratch.

soooo, anyone have one they use and love?

i went to hobby lobby last night and bought all the stuff Smile

hoping mine look better then this, but here is the craft project

i found one that is
nonfat dry milk powder
sugar
unsweetened cocoa powder
salt

wonder if the milk is if you want to mix it in water and not into milk...

i just did not want to go out buy all the stuff, mix it up and not have it be any good! looking for tested suggestions, but yeah Martha Stuart has to be good

I would think to that you would have to add water instead of milk. I would use the M.S (1 less ingredient to buy) and just add a cute tag with the instructions to add it to milk and not water.

...or find a really good store bought type and tell everyone you made it from scratch! I like the little snowmen and I think they make a cute gift, and thats from an old curmudgeon like me.

I take the packets of swiss miss and mix in a few spoons of Maxwell House Hazelnut Cappuccino. It still tastes like hot chocolate but with a nutty edge that's really nice.

When we go skiing, I use swiss miss, add an extra tsp or 2 of hersheys special dark cocoa powder (unsweetened) to give it extra chocolate oomph. Then when I add the hot water, I finish by putting in a tablespoon or 2 of evaporated milk for creaminess.

I use Land O Lakes - http://www.amazon.com/Land-Lakes-Classics-Instant-Premium/dp/B0044TYIZQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1418158908&sr=1-2&keywords=land+o+lakes+hot+chocolate

http://www.amazon.com/Land-Lakes-Chocolate-Supreme-Cocoa/dp/B0042UA47I/ref=sr_1_7?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1418159278&sr=1-7&keywords=land+o+lakes

They have other flavors on Amazon, my favorite is hazelnut. You can mix these with water or milk and it's soooo good.

This will not work for your gift project but it sure does work for a special treat at home:

well i went the swiss miss route for my work gifts, costco had a box of 60 packets for like $6 and each jar took 5. so that was cheaper then buying all the stuff to make a mix!
Here is my army of snow men i had fun making them!
