    Sounds wonderful! We drink loads of hot chocolate in our house - the kids love it with their breakfast.

    I love hot chocolate, especially Nesquik, my all time favorite since I was a kid.

    I like hot chocolate so much! I think the hot chocolate mixture is a great idea for gift giving.

    My mom used to make a recipe that looked very similar to this. I'll have to try yours and compare it to my mom's!

    Today was a hot chocolate kind of day here. We were out of the mix. Wish I had seen this earlier!

    I love hot chocolate on a cold day. Making it yourself is a great idea. Great lens!

    Making your own is a great way to produce a customized and cheaper alternative. I like that you can control the sugar. Pre-packaged mixes are really mostly sugar.

    Although I've made lots of mix myself, I still prefer using whole milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt to make real hot chocolate on the stovetop. Nothing tops that.
  • vallain Feb 13, 2010 @ 1:36 pm | delete
    This would make a great gift. Everyone needs a warming mug of hot chocolate now and then.
  • luvmyludwig Feb 13, 2010 @ 7:39 am | delete
    I always plan to do this, but sometimes it is just easier to buy the prepackaged until you see the price difference that is. Great job on this!

    I love hot chocolate, my mom, sisters and I used to drink hot chocolate and play games in the evenings. Good memories!

    I used to have this recipe and haven't thought about it in years. Thank you so much as I plan to mix up some of this today. My grandson and I enjoy a cup of Hot Chocolate most everyday! Blessed!

    This looks like a great small gift idea. I could see putting 3-4 servings in a small ziplock bag and then putting the bag in a gift mug. It would make a great gift for teachers or others that you want to present a small gift to! 5* lens!

    Nothing like hot chocolate on a cold night!

    I never have considered making hot chocolate mix. Great idea! And good timing; I'm sitting here sipping on a mug of hot cocoa right now. It's getting chilly here in Flagstaff, so I just bought a few boxes of hot chocolate packets. Since we go through so much of it over the winter, I'll have to try your recipe.
  • EverythingMouse Oct 2, 2009 @ 1:59 pm | delete
    I certainly do like hot chocolate. Nice to see another mouse on Squidoo!

    Interesting recipe. We always make our own hot chocolate powder (we make most things from scratch). Ours is really simple - 1 part cocoa to 2 parts sugar. Then we heat on the stove with milk. Anyway you make it, hot chocolate is GREAT! It's what gets me through endless winters.

    I love hot chocolate and this time of year it's really a comfort food. This is a really great idea for giving as a gift! I think I'll make a bunch up for my neighbors this holiday season!

    Hot cocoa is one of our favourite after-walking treats on a cold day. Scrummy.
  • Stazjia Sep 8, 2009 @ 12:21 pm | delete
    I love hot chocolate, particularly on a cold day. This sounds like a good and easy to prepare Christmas gift.

    I live in Guatemala where chocolate is still sacred due to the Maya. Here they make hot chocolate completely differently than what we are used to! 5*

    Mmm, yes getting colder these days (or at least nights). Hot chocolate sounds good. Great idea to make it and give as gifts!

    Oh, hot chocolate is one of my winter time comfort "foods"! The recipe sounds quite good and I can sure use that kind of savings! Great lens, Cynthia!

    What a great idea! I was thinking about hot chocolate just this morning and wondering if I could make my own. What a wonderful recipe and with everyone's purse strings being so pinched this is perfect! Grab a coupon or two and make it even more economical. Saving this recipe and beautiful lens. Faved and Fived!
