I was looking for a recipe to replace the Swiss Miss packets that I had been buying. As written the recipe is good, but don't expect it to taste like a boxed store bought hot chocolate. To really make it delicious I added a handful of marshmallows to each cup... yum! Now, I know hot chocolate and marshmallows just kinda of go together, but I never really noticed a difference when I put mm in my swiss miss hot choc. In THIS one the whole drink becomes creamy and just amazing. Worth a try if you are looking for a great homemade recipe.

Sorry, but I am a cocoa snob. I found this recipe as it is watery & bland. I added more cocoa powder & a lot more powdered milk as well as creamer to the mix before I was done. I am thankful to the submitter for a starting place. I am working with this recipe to make a hot chocolate recipe that is perfect for me :)

After reading the recipe and a bunch of reviews I *really* wanted some hot chocolate, but didn't have all the ingredients so I modified it and while it needs tweaking it helped curb the crave. :) Thank you for getting me started!

This is a very good base to start from. As opposed to some other reviewers I found that the mix was too watery. I added another 2 cups of powdered milk and another cup of creamer and it was rich and flavorful.

This is the recipe I remember as a cild, just now I use Splenda instead due to health issues.

As another member suggested...run the dry milk powder thru a food processor to make it finer.

I made this for the first time tonight. My husband and I both enjoyed it very much. I am going to be putting it in mason jars and giving it as gifts to my sons teachers for Christmas.

I made it exactly according to the recipe and it was too milky with not enough sugar or cocoa. I think that next time I will decrease the amount of powdered milk--hopefully that will help.

As is, I find it a little bland for my taste. An extra 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1 1/2 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. cinnamon did wonders for it in my house - we can't get enough.
