Hot chocolate Mix recipe with dry milk
No, really. This is.
Like, ever.
That stuff that you purchase in the cardboard canisters at the grocery store? Yeah…those don’t have anything on this. And guess what? This takes less than 5 minutes to mix up.
Plus, it makes a ton (and can easily be doubled, tripled…you get the idea), and is perfect for holiday gift-giving. Especially when you’re as craftiness-impaired as I am.
See the cute little tag wound around the jar with the instructions on how to make an individual steaming mug of creamy, chocolate bliss? You can get the printables here (they’re free, and Jason and Jennifer’s entire site is amazing – so go check it out). Even if you don’t do crafty and/or creative, you’re totally covered here.
Mix together four ingredients, pour ’em into a jar, print some labels, and BAM. Easy gift-giving: DONE.
This mix is perfect gifted along with some Kahlúa (I used the Cinnamon-Spice flavor in mine, and it was two-mug worthy!), although the Peppermint Mocha would be equally as fabulous.

Instructions
To make the mix:
