my family loves hot chocolate. they all wonder how I always have a ready supply for when they just drop by. This year I'll be giving them their own little piece of heaven whenever a gift is needed. no complaints so far.

I was really excited about this recipe, but when I made it just tasted like sweet milk, not very chocolaty. I even added the chocolate pudding like suggested. I was very disappointed. I am better off just buying it from the store. I only recommend if you don't like your hot chocolate to taste like chocolate.

This is a very good hot chocolate mix. I did as others advised and added chocolate pudding mix to mine...I added two boxes to the full recipe. I would also have to say that the appearance was a little on the lumpy side. There was no problem dissolving it, but to make it look "prettier" if you are giving it as a gift, I would send it thru the food processor or blender to get rid of the powdered milk lumps.

This recipe is in serious need of at least 1 cup of cocoa powder or more. Not very chocolatey at all without it. With that, it's quite yummy.

I made this for a Halloween party and thought it was very good. It makes ALOT! I added the chocolate pudding as some have suggested and found I still needed to use MUCH more mix than the recipe calls for to get a chocolatey cup of hot chocolate. It's much butter than the store bought. I didn't process it in the food processor as someone suggested and didn't have ANY problems with lumps. In fact, I'm shocked at how easily it dissolves in water. Good recipe. Will definitely make again to have on hand throughout the winter!

We gave this as gifts at Christmas, and had to keep some for our family! Everyone loved it!

I make this every year for a holiday party and people go nuts for it! Super delicious!

Very pleased with this recipe! Processing in the food processor is essential as it smooths out any lumps usually found in the powdered milk - yuck. I used equal instead of sugar. I also made this recipe using "Special Dark" cocoa for my husband who LOVES DARK chocolate - he thought it was great. For the dark cocoa version I used equal again and added an additional 1/4 - 1/2 cup of the creamer. I don't advise using the special flavored creamers - stick with the plain creamer. Again, VERY pleased with this recipe.

I was not impressed with this recipe. Tasted like watered down sweet milk.

This same recipe has been in my family for years! My 3 yr old just loves it! I actually use a tall kitchen garbage bag to mix it, then cut a hole in the end to pour into containers. Enjoy!

this is a huge hit at my house. added the whole container of chocolate mix (26 oz??), used french vanilla creamer, substituted Splenda for half the sugar and threw in a tsp. of cinnamon. yum!

Wonderful recipe! I had many compliments. I had to save a couple jars for myself because my husband really liked it. He never drinks Hot Chocolate! Thanks!

This is very good stuff. I will no longer need to buy store bought hot chocolate! And it makes ALOT.

What a great recipe! Followed the advice about adding flavored creamer and a box of chocolate pudding. Easy to make and warms you through and through.

the very best hot chocolate mix I ever drink. thanks alots for sharing the recipe.I gave you a ( 5+ )************

This is a very Yummy hot chocolate!! Added a box chocolate pudding mix per half batch and used rounded measurements on the NesQuick and creamer. Very delicious and easy to make! I think I will try with vanilla or hazelnut creamer next time for a twist on a classic. Thanks for this recipe!

Very yummy drink mix! I decided to make this to give as Christmas gifts, so I had to taste it to make sure it was alright. After a couple cups, I figured out the problem. The ingredients are just fine (actually, as another review suggested, I added some pudding mix to it), but the instructions were a little off. It tastes the best with 4 tablespoons instead of three, so I'll be sure to suggest that when I give it to people. Other than that, it tastes as if I had made up a pot of hot chocolate from scratch! Much better than store bought.
