Chocolate Milk Powder Mix

Someone posted this recipe on Pinching Your Pennies. My kids have been drinking lots of chocolate milk lately, so I decided to try it. It got great reviews from everyone (even one neighbor kid) except Spencer (imagine that!). I tried it with semi-sweet chocolate chips at first. That was very sweet. White chocolate chips are better, I think. I also use only 1/4 c of mix per 1 c of milk, and I think that is plenty. I'm interested to see how the cost of this compares to Nesquik or something like that. I'll have to figure it out one day. Best-Ever Hot Cocoa Mix Cooks Country Magazine Makes about 20 servings 3 cups nonfat dry milk 2 cups confectioners' sugar 1 1/2 cups Dutch-processed cocoa powder 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips 1/4 teaspoon Salt Combine ingredients in large bowl. Working in two batches, pulse ingredients in food processor until chocolate is finely ground. Store in airtight container for up to 3 months. To make hot cocoa, stir 1/3 cup of this mix into 1 cup of hot milk. Top with whipped cream or mini marshmallows.
