Instant Cocoa Mix Bulk Recipe

My kiddos love hot cocoa/hot chocolate.  I’ve been buying it for the Keurig which is nice and easy but gets expensive after a while.  My husband told me that he loved the hot chocolate mix his mother made when he was a child.  He said she made it in bulk so they always had it around.  That’s all I needed to hear.  I asked her for her recipe and she sent it right over.

That’s a lot of cocoa mix!

I told you it made a lot!

Guess who made a trip to the wholesale store?

 Alright.  I know.  The recipe doesn’t use cocoa by itself.  It uses Nesquik.  I’m using the recipe as it was given to me. 😉

I do not have man hands!  LOL!  This is my husband.

I added all of the ingredients and began stirring the mix.  Super Husband offered to shake it up instead.  I took these photos as my sons and I stood by laughing and waiting for the Glad Press n’ Seal wrap to give way and cover my dear husband like a snowman.  We waited.  He shook the container…and shook it…and we watched and waited hoping it would break for a good laugh…hoping it would not break for good hot cocoa.  Guess what?

For daily use, pour some into a smaller container.

Yeah.  The Glad Press & Seal wrap didn’t break.  No instant snowman dad for us.  Sad.  Well, we still had hot chocolate to drink!  YAY!

One scoop + hot water = yum.

I highly suggest putting some of the mix into a smaller container for daily use.  That keeps the big container from being knocked off, contaminated by winter illness and from being in the way.

What? I can still use my Keurig? SWEET!

Add 3/4 cup of hot water and then 1/3 cup of the mix and stir.  One of the first things we did was figure out what setting we could use on our Keurig to make this even faster.  I have the Keurig Platinum B70 and we found that putting it on the second cup choice was the perfect amount of water for this drink.  YAY!

Awwww….sweet!

I’m a huge fan of dark chocolate.  That’s definitely NOT what this tastes like.  I’d say…to me…this has a sort of a white chocolate flavor to it.  It’s a milder hot cocoa/hot chocolate drink.  I’m so glad I made this.  It brought back such fond memories for my husband and making this as a family created new ones for us all.

Warm winter wishes to you and yours!
