French Vanilla Hot Cocoa Mix
Description
This French Vanilla Hot Cocoa Mix is SO rich and creamy, I don't think I can ever go back to packaged hot cocoa mix again!
Ingredients
- Half of one 21.8 oz. container of chocolate Nesquik powder
- 2 cups powdered milk
- 1 cup powdered French Vanilla coffee creamer
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients.
- Make sure to break up any clumps in the mixture.
- Store in an air tight container or divide into mason jars for gift giving.
To Prepare French Vanilla Hot Cocoa
- Heat 6-8 oz. of water.
- Stir in 4 or 5 tablespoons of cocoa mix.
- Add marshmallows, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, chocolate chips or your favorite add ins!
Once I filled my mason jars - I found these in the Dollar Spot at Target (2 for $3) - I added a simple stamped tag tied on with red/white bakers' twine and then tied on a few red jingle bells with green/white bakers twine. Super simple packaging, but I think it looks SO cute! Here is a close up - fun, right?!
Just add the mixing directions on the back of the tag so your recipient know how to enjoy their French Vanilla Hot Cocoa Mix! You could add a second jar filled with marshmallows, candy canes, chocolate chips, etc. - you know, the good stuff - to a basket with some cute holiday mugs for a sweet hostess gift.
Now, hold on to your hats and glasses, 'cause this here's one of the most awesome round of up handmade gifts for the holidays!! {And stick around to the end for the GIVEAWAY!!}

How many mason jars does this recipe fill?
Keri says
Hi Sierra - this recipe makes about 5 - 5 1/2 cups of mix so it will depend on the size of your mason jars. Hope that helps and thanks so much for stopping by Shaken Together!

I’m making these for Christmas this year. I’ll look for the tags at our Dollar general. I am adding something though I am attaching 2 small bottles of Baileys Irish cream to each pint size jar. This is a really great recipe. Thamks????????
