Nothing says Christmastime quite like a cold evening with the fireplace roaring, a cup of hot cocoa and a Christmas movie playing. It is truly one of the simple pleasures in life and I have a recipe for hot coco recipe that’s unlike anything you can buy in a packet from the store. It’s smooth and creamy and it has just the right amount of chocolate. I adore this recipe and I always make a big batch of hot cocoa and I keep some in the pantry and give some away.
Last year, I used mason jars and the darling Erin Condren labels, I added a square of red polka-dot fabric to finish off the top.
Materials:
- Erin Condren gift labels
- mason jars
- festive fabric (to coordinate with the gift labels)
- homemade hot cocoa (see recipe below)
Homemade Hot Cocoa
- 1 large box of dry milk (8 qt)
- 2 lbs NesQuick Powdered Chocolate drink
- 1 container of Cremora (11 oz)
- 1 box powdered sugar
Mix all ingredients together and divide amongst your jars. Or just keep the mix in an airtight container in the pantry and use throughout the season. Just add the mix to hot water (according to taste). Enjoy.
LOVE these labels…. the jars look darling! enjoy!
Hi
This looks really yummy. Thanks for the recipe.
I really want to make it but I have a few Qs for you pls (I am in Australia so products are a bit different here):
– What size is your powdered sugar box is (weight)?
– s powdered sugar the same as icing sugar or is it just fine white sugar?
– Finally, we don’t get Cremora here – am I right in assuming that it is powdered milk? Will any full-fat powdered milk do?
Thank you so much
