Ilove this recipe ,it is so easy when you have kids. Just mix and serve. -
This is a pretty good cocoa mix, after reading the reviews, I upped the dried Milk to 4 cups, then 1 1/4 cup expensive cocoa powder, 1 1/2 tsp salt and I will next time add 3 cups of powdered sugar two cups did not seem like enough. The cocoa, should be dutch darker, with more taste to it.. We have to remember that these are HOMEMADE recipes not made in a factory, read the ingredients, on a box of hot cocoa mix, 98% of what is in it won't be in a Homemade mixture so that is why most people don't think it's sweet enough. Thanks Amy -
this was a staple from childhood that my Grams always had on hand and shipped to me in college. She passed before I could get the recipe. When I tried to make it, there was always something missing. It was the coffee! Thank you so very much I can now share this with my family. :) -
It was pretty good. We decided to double the chocolate, and that made a difference!

This is a GREAT recipe! I did some tweaking, however, to accommodate my taste. Firstly, more cocoa! I don't have any of that super dark chocolate, but I believe that would probably give it a better flavor than regular Hershey's, much as I adore the big 'H'. Also, I used half powdered sugar and half Splenda. Lastly, I'm going to try flavored creamer next time I make it, as suggested by another reviewer. All that bring said, thanks for sharing such a wonderful, flexible recipe!

Simple basic ingredients and recipe. No more boxes of prefab instant hot cocoa mix for us. I doubled the recipe when making up, large family here. When making individual cups some wanted a pinch of cinnamon, some instant coffee or made with coffee instead of hot water, and some cayenne pepper. Thanks for sharing.
