It's officially FALL here. In Mississippi, our leaves tend to take a little bit longer to change since we have such a warmer climate in the South. They are finally changing though. This means that, for our family anyway, it is hunting season and chocolate season.
Now, some people have issues with the hunting part, and that's fine. We don't do the vanity hunting but we put it all in our freezer. I normally don't buy hamburger meat until August or September. But I digress... this is really about the chocolate. I'm not talking regular chocolate. Oh no, I am talking about homemade hot chocolate mix.
Yeah, I said it. The addictive...calorie-infused.... awesomeness that we LOVE to have nightly. Or put in our coffee for extra wonderfulness. Now, mine isn't a true "homemade" recipe. I normally do make most of my stuff from scratch but this just is GREAT. Seriously... I'm talking gain 5 lbs if you don't ration it awesomeness. lol~~~~~ So here's the recipe!
2 lb box Nestle Quik
1 lb box Confectioners Sugar
11 oz jar CoffeeMate (PLAIN)
8 qt box powdered milk
Mix all of this, sifting constantly. I can't tell you how important it is to get it completely sifted together. (you will need a BIG BOWL and a BIG container).
That's it for directions. Super easy! To use for hot chocolate, simply put 1/2 cup in your mug, fill with boiling water, stir and add marshmallows. For coffee, simply add 1 teaspoon (or 2 or 3) to your coffee.
This makes Fall (and Winter) perfect for us. I have sat in my chair, laptop in my lap, just drinking this while I thought of different things to write. In fact, this is usually how you find me... but be warned!!! It is so good, it is addictive... and trust me, I wasn't joking about the calories! We're talking cappuccino calories peeps~
Enjoy!!!!
