Hot Cocoa

I love hot cocoa.  The real stuff!  Yet I don't want to have to heat up my milk each time and make it.  So I have found a short cut for when I just need a quiet time and chocolate.

The Mix:
1 cup dried milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa

Mix in a glass jar.

Boil water and add about 4 Tablespoons per cup.
You can add this to your morning coffee too!

This is more like dark chocolate.  Add more sugar to your mix if you want it sweeter.

Don't just stop at hot cocoa.  You can add up to a tablespoon of cocoa to recipes to add a subtle chocolate taste.  Just reduce the amount of flour by how much cocoa you use.  For a breakfast treat I add cocoa and brown sugar to oatmeal!  So go ahead and experiment with cocoa.  It is good tasting and good for you!
