How to Make a Blue Cafe Bag

Hot Chocolate Mix


This last week has just been an amazing week! I'm not going to bore you all with the details, but just believe me, I feel like I'm Gods' favorite for sure! One thing I will say about it is yesterday was our 13th wedding anniversary and my husband surprised me with a marmot vest. He was so tickled that he could surprise me (and so was I). Since I am the one to take care of our accounts and bills, I usually know in advance when something is up.


A couple days ago, I was jonesing for some hot chocolate really bad but didn't have any packets on hand. Instead of going to the store, I just mixed this recipe up very quickly which I found here, heated up some milk and had a really fabulous cup of hot chocolate.


This recipe makes 5 3/4 cups dry mix or 92 eight-ounce servings (I cut it in half). The only thing I did differently was to add some cinnamon to the mix and used dutch-processed cocoa.


3 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/4 cups dutch processed cocoa
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 - 1 tsp cinnamon *my addition
Mix one Tbsp. of mix per cup of hot milk.
