Maybe you know this about me, maybe you don't: I'm a fiend for hot chocolate. I like coffee, too, but with so much cream and sugar that - let's face it - I'm no favorite among the coffee elite. (note: WHY are there coffee elitests?!)
Historically, I'm a Nestle Quik girl. If anyone over at Nestle wants to send me a ton of product for review, I can say with confidence that I'm ready to say good things about you. It's nostalgic, for one; I've been drinking their hot chocolate mix since I was a little girl. It was practically the only sugary thing I was allowed to have as a child. In fact, I used to eat it straight (dunked in milk.)
No judgement: some of you ate BUTTER. Or Worse. So I don't want to hear it. (Truth is, I thought I was pretty strange, myself, until I saw Charlize Theron's character do it in the not-so-classic "Sweet November." Sweet vindication. If Charlize does it, it can't be wrong!*)
Anyway.
Hot chocolate is an every morning thing. Sometimes the afternoon, too. And for those of you who also buy organic milk at $5/gallon, I don't have to tell you that going through milk at that rate gets pricey. But water-based hot chocolate is for people who accept weakness. I am not one of those people.
So, I give you: My Mother In Law's Famous Hot Chocolate Recipe That's Great Made With Water!!
Enjoy.
8 cups of powdered milk
1 lb. box powdered sugar
1 lb. of nestle quik - (yes!)
1 lb. dried coffee creamer (I like vanilla flavored Coffee Mate.)
Get an enormous container and mix it well.
Three tablespoons per mug of hot water and you have solved a problem that most people in the world will never have time to worry about!
Thanks, Mom.
Love, Erin
