  1. I mixed the cocoa and sugar in a glass and added a small amount of cold water....just enough to make a paste. Then added a little of the milk and stirred until blended. Then added the rest of the milk. No need to microwave. Tasted good....not quite like commercial chocolate milk, or the kind made with purchased chocolate syrup, but still good.
     
  2. Over-sweet and insufficiently chocolaty for my tastes. And my microwave broke AFTER I tagged this recipe for PAC. But substituting boiling water instead of microwaving 30 seconds worked just fine to dissolve everything.
     
  3. I needed one cup of chocolate milk for a recipe and used this recipe. The recipe made more than I needed so I had to drink the rest. lol Thank you for posting this recipe!
     
  4. I made this tonight using 1 ounce heated milk to dissolve the cocoa and sugar instead of water. It was pretty good and pretty close to "the real thing", but it seemed to be missing something. I think there may need just a little more cocoa. But it definitely is worth keeping around and tweaking. Thanks!
     
  5. mmm...I was CRAVING chocolate milk, and it was too late to run to the grocery store, so I turned to recipezaar! This was delicious and exactly what I wanted! Thanks so much :)

I learned to cook out of desperation. My Grandmother was a great "Down Home" cook and she spoiled me. My Mom was into TV Dinners, yes those things that used to come on a foil tray. Yuk. My first experience with cooking actually was in Boy Scouts over a campfire. After a few times at cooking, I allways got "drafted" because all the other kids likes my cooking better. I've dome all the cooking for my family for over 30 years. and my kids are so spoiled, when they come home for college, they turn down going out and want me to cook. (Can you say "Spoiled") I only really follow a recipe when I'm baking. The rest of the time I either modify it, or I just wing it with out a recipe. ( It pays to write stuff down when you do this though because sometimes you stumble on something awesome, and then you can't recreate it) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
