I love making this during the holidays! I make a bunch and give out to friends as gifts. Make sure to use chocolate drink mix - NOT cocoa mix. The cocoa mix recipe will make this too milky/creamy and not enough mocha/chocolate flavored. I think the recipe is just right as is. However, if you like your coffee strong, you can add a Tbsp or two to every 1/4 cup of instant coffee called for in the recipe.

I added some caramel into my cup and put some whipped topping on top with a little more caramel for decoration and it tasted almost like a famous companies caramel mocha.

I added 2 rounded cups of instant coffee instead of 1 1/4, which gives it more of a coffee flavor. This is a holiday favorite. I give it to my nieces and nephews who are in college and they love it. I found really cute little jars at Ikea. I put the mixture in the jar, and top it off with mini marshmallows. They love it!

My daughter and I made this and loved it. We left out the coffee granules and use it as a mocha creamer for our brewed coffee. This recipe made so much, we were able to split it and each have tons!

This is good, a mild chocolate flavor and not overly sweet. It does taste a little weak coffee wise, but I suppose that is simply a matter of personal preference. I do think it would make a terrific gift, however I'm hoarding this first batch for myself. ;) Additional Note: If you halve this recipe, it takes exactly 1, 10.9 oz. container of Nestle Quik - and you STILL need a big bowl to mix it. I also used the French Vanilla flavored powdered creamer and I think that worked nicely.

I've made this for several years now. It is always what my church family asks for for all of the CHristmas parties.

This recipe is so forgiving. You can customize it to your own taste. It tasted too sweet for me, so I upped the coffee granules (to 3/4 c.) and added about 1/8 c. cinnamon. Just right for me! I plan to package some as gifts for Valentines Day.
