Not the BEST flavor, but it's kid-friendly and super-easy to make. As an adult, I'd pass on it, but my kiddos are 100% happy with it.

Score! Three ingredients=check. No high fructose corn syrup=check. Tastes as good as store-bought=check. The only two things I did differently were increasing the cocoa to almost 1 cup; and using 1/4 c. mix per serving (which is what the canister from the grocery says to use). Previously I have made this with confectioners' sugar instead of regular white, and it tasted bad. It needed salt and vanilla when served. But made this way, with only dry milk, white granular sugar, and cocoa, it needed nothing! Little sis was happy that it didn't leave residue in the bottom of the cup, too. We added whipped cream on top when we drank it, but it didn't need that. I might give this as gifts this Christmas!

I was trying to find a good cocoa mix for a bridal shower favor. You know, "the perfect mix." This wasn't it. The chocolatey taste seemed watered down. Not to my liking. I was comparing three recipes for a taste test to pick which one to use. I'm not using this one.

great basic mix. The more typical 2 tablespoons of mix tastes more like cocoa mix though. Typo?

As written, this is a little watery. We had to add more, but this is a very easy recipe and worth trying. We'll keep it on hand all winter!

I'll give it 4 stars cause I didn't use the recipe's measurements, I just went off of taste. I think I used about 7 cups of dry milk, 3 c cocoa powder and enough cups of sugar to make it sweet enough. I scooped some into individual cone shaped bags with crushed candy canes, milk chocolate and white chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows. I handed them out as gifts along with candy cane biscotti. I also make my hot cocoa with hot milk instead of water, it comes out a lot creamier and frothy.

This is my first one star rating. I followed the directions and doubled it. It was so watery. I put 4 servings of the powder in 2 servings of water and it was too watery.

This is a good basic recipe. I am thinking of adding cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to it next time to make a spiced hot chocolate mix.

I might have to try and make this one again just to make sure my measurements were correct. When I made this I thought there was way too much cocoa powder and not enough sugar for my taste.
