Questions & Replies

  1. Can you use this mix with milk when you make the hot chocolate instead of water?
     
  2. Is the milk powder the nonfat kind?
     
  3. Is the pudding mix instant
     
  4. The recipe instructions say "use 1/3 recipe with 2/3 cup water" is that 1/3 cup of the mix? I'm sure it's not 1/3 of the recipe. I read a post that mentioned 3 heaping Tablespoons. Please inform. Also, what size box of pudding mix?
     
  5. could you use Hershey Hot chocolate mix as well?

  1. I made this last night,and of all the hot chocolate mixes I have made(and there have been alot!)This one is the best.It is more chocolatey(is that a word?)than the others.It also seems to dissolve better in the hot water.I will make this one from now on.
     
  2. Amazing! I ended up making 2 batches of this at Christmas time to give out as a party favor at our annual Progressive Dinner. We had the dessert course & we served it for our signature drink, along with a shot of Amarula liquer (similar to Baileys) for an extra kick! For the powdered milk, 11 cups is the 25.6oz box (725g); for the nesquick, the large 2 lb jar I got made the 2 lb measurement close to 7 cups. I used the large box of pudding. It made so much I had to use a large bowl & roasting pan to mix just 1 batch. I then did as many recommended & put it through my food processor to get a finer powder. This will be my new Christmas tradition! It is by far the best powdered mix I have ever had! So many people said that also. It is great in coffee too. Thanks!
     
  3. I should have left a review 4 years ago. I make this a couple times a year. I have to triple the batch. When friends find out that I'm making this they start giveing donations of ingredients and money to make theirs. I have found the flavored coffee creamers make a nice twist to the original flavor. But the original is the most popular. My favorite thing is to add cinamon sugar to the original (per mug). I also put this mix in a blender to make it finer and easier to melt. When I make my batches I put them in doubled up gallon zip lock bags. They are dbl b/c if there is a small hole I don't want these ingredients all over me as I mix. This stuff can get messy if you don't prep right..believe me I know lol..been there done that.
     
  4. This is the best recipe I have ever tasted! I used it to make teacher gifts this year at Christmas. Thank-you for this one, it's a keeper.
     
  5. One 25.6 oz box of powdered milk is just over 10 cups, for anybody who might be interested- I had two boxes so I did go with the full 11 cups. I used a 30 oz container of Nestle Quick, my cocoa powder was Hersheys Special Dark and I used a large box of Chocolate Fudge pudding (the recipe didn't specify what size box). This wonderful, rich and VERY chocolately! A whole batch makes A LOT of mix... I guess I knew it would but seeing it all put together was a shocking- and I processing in the blender seemed to take forever- but is well worth it. I plan on giving some away in holiday goody baskets.
