I scaled this back to make only 2 portions so that I could try it before investing in making such a large amount. Please note that in place of the confectioners sugar I used Splenda, as I'm diabetic. This, however, had no effect on the taste, which was overwhelmingly dominated by the unpleasant flavor of powdered milk. I'm not sure there's any way to get around this, since it's the main ingredient. As it stands, I'd much rather have the just-add-water packets made by Swiss Miss, which has a far superior flavor to this stuff.

The cocoa powder was overpowering. I made 3 servings to try before I used it in hot chocolate cones, but I was not impressed. Once I added an extra teaspoon of powdered sugar (per cup), it was better, but it's not something that I or my tasters will be repeating.

I made up jars of this mix to put in gift baskets for family at Christmas time. I followed the recipe exactly and have had many compliments and requests for the recipe.

I made only 1/4 of this recipe just to be sure I liked it first (before making such a large batch). I brought it to work and everyone really enjoyed it... it's going quick! They all agreed that it was just the right amount of sweetness and they loved that it was low in calories compared to other varieties of hot cocoa mix. We ended up just adding 1/3 a cup of mix to 1 cup water and it didn't taste diluted at all.

I really liked this recipe, I had to tweak it a little. I added one more cup of creamer. It was delicious.

Ok, this is an addicting recipe. I made one change. I omitted the creamer since I am not a fan of the chemicals in it and instead have been adding one to two tbsp of flavored coffee creamer. I use the fat free but I can imagine the options with adding different types of flavoring...chocolate mint, hazelnut, french vanilla....Mmmm so good.

Delicious! I need not say more. :)

This is a great platform to get what I wanted for a cocoa mix. Just had to tweak it a little to get the sweetness and creaminess personal to me. Liked that it only requires 4 ingredients that I have on hand all the time.

My family really liked this recipe. I make it because we drink alot of cocoa and I know eactly whats in this no misc ingreds. I leave out the powdered creamer and double the cocoa. We make ours with milk. I whirl it up in the food proc. so the powder gets all mixed and the milk powder doesnt sink to the bottom.

eh, so so. I had to make a batch for 70 women. I entered in the serving size for 210 servings. I put them in little baggies, put minichocolate chips over the mix, then put mini marshmallows over those. Then tied in with rafia and put a candycane in the bow. Looks great, and tastes okay. I also used irish cream flavored powdered creamer, and i do think that made it better than it would have been.

THANK YOU! i just had a big group of friends over for Christmas and I made the whole batch and kept in a dutch oven on the stove! it was a big hit! everybody loved it!! I did add more conv. sugar and some more cocoa, it was wonderful! I'm going to make more for Christmas gifts for my neighbors, along with some cookies!!

4 stars because of the tweaks required. 5c powdered milk, 4c powdered sugar, 2c unsweetened cocoa, plus 4tbs dutch cocoa (for a darker color), 2c creamer,and 1tsp cinnamon. Overall, a nice balance of flavors; I will keep this recipe for a long time!

I didn't have enough of all the ingredients on hand but I used what I had. I used 8 cups dry non-fat milk, 1-3/4 cocoa, 6 cups powdered sugar, 2 cups French Vanilla Creamer, 3/4 cup Cinnamon Creamer, and 1 teaspoon salt. I used my food processor for the cocoa, the cinnamon creamer and the non-fat milk and sifted the powdered sugar. I just dumped the French Vanilla creamer into the batch. After I mixed it all up, I could see little flecks of milk through out. I made me sample and after I mixed in the hot water there were little pieces of milk or creamer floating on the top. After I let it set for a little bit most of them dissolved. I then put tho whole mixture through the food prcessor again and all of the white flecks have disappeared. I made another sample to drink after adding more cocoa and added a few minature marshmellows to my cup. This is very good. I am only rating a four because of not following the recipe . This made a lot of mix, but it will make wonderful Christmas presents.

I think this is delicious as is! Yumm!

I used the tweak version of 1 1/2c cocoa, 3c of pow sugar, and 1c ofpow creamer. AWESOME!!!
