My Mother used to make this for me when I was a kid. I made it for my children, and now I make it for my Grands. I hope you like it. Oh the dried marshmellows is an add of mine!

Ingredients
  • 10 2/3 c. powdered milk (25.6 oz. box)
  • 1 (16 oz.) can baking cocoa, I prefer the darker cocoa my daughter does not...
  • 2 to 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 6 oz. creamer, if you want you may use flavored creamer, we like fat free vanilla
  • 1 lg box chocolate instant pudding
  • Mini Marshmallows, dried (optional), we use the multi colored ones!

Directions
  1. Mix 1/2 of the milk and all of the other ingredients in a wide mouth gallon jar.
  2. Put the lid on the jar, and start rolling it.
  3. We play roll the jar with the kids until it is all mixed.
  4. Add more of the milk and keep rollin.
  5. When the jar is full and mixed it is ready.
  6. Fill what ever cup you will be using 1/3 of the way up.
  7. Add hot water, mix, and enjoy.

  9. Dried Marshmellows: Take a cookie sheet and line with cheese cloth/paper towels. Spread the bag of mini marshmellows out on cookie sheet, cover with cheese cloth/ paper towel. Leave for three or four days. Check them you will know when they are hard and crunchy. They are ready for the mix!!!

  11. If you prefer to use the sweetened chocolate drink mix stuff you need 32 ounces.
  12. -
  13. If you decide to use the dried mini marshmellows you need to add them after all of the hot chocolate mix is well mixed. Seperate the mix into 2 gallon jugs, divide the mini marshmellows between them and roll again. We dry out a whole bag of the colored mini marshmellows, the kids love it!
  14. -
  15. Or you can do what one of my Daughters does now, she takes about 1/3 of the mix out and outs it into another jar, in case someone does not like marshmellows. She add the marshmellows to the gallon jar. Now you have it both ways.

I've given cocoa mix as gifts in the past, and if the holiday doesn't sneak up on me (like it usually does) I plan to do it this year to. I'll have to give this one a whirl or should I say "roll" Great post:o)
