Alan dug my cocoa recipe out of my cookbook for you, so here you go!
French Vanilla Hot Cocoa Mix
1 box powdered sugar (I think it's a 1 pound box)
1 jar French Vanilla Coffee Mate (11oz jar)
24oz Nestle Quick (milk chocolate flavor)
1 box (8 quart size) Carnation Instant Milk Powder
Sometimes I add about 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the mix as well.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl or large zippy bag and mix well. Add 1/3 cup mix to a mug o' hot water and serve.
You can exchange the French Vanilla Coffee Mate for any other flavored Coffee Mate you'd like (Peppermint, Hazelnut, etc)
Mmmm, good!
Sounds yummy! (And easy enough that I might even try it.) Thanks for sharing.
