Description
My hot chocolate & chocolate milk mix recipe has been a favorite of ours – and many of you – over the years. This year I got the idea to use milk powder instead of collagen for a more budget friendly option to keep on hand for my kids. It’s not considered THM friendly, but it’s perfect for children and so much healthier than storebought packets! It couldn’t be easier to mix up – only four ingredients!
An electric kettle is my go-to for heating water, and the milk powder means that you don’t have to heat up milk but the hot chocolate is still nice and creamy. (I get my milk powder from Walmart, but you can also use the link below to find it on Amazon.)
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups nonfat dry milk powder
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons THM Super Sweet Blend
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Whisk the ingredients together and store in an airtight container.
I like to use 1/4 cup of mix to 1 cup of hot water. An electric kettle is the way to go. This makes a pretty rich hot chocolate, but I often add a few ice cubes to my children’s cups to cool it down so that dilutes it a bit.
A lot of people like more sweetener than we do, so feel free to increase the sweetener in the mix if the resulting hot chocolate isn’t sweet enough for you.
