recipies for hot chocolate

22 years ago

I am looking for a good and easy way to make hot chocolate to put in jars for teachers gifts. Thought I would add a mug and a candy cane to stir it with.
(something like the snowman soup)
Thanks

I always have this on hand.

INSTANT COCOA MIX
4 cups dry milk powder
i cup low fat powdered non dairy creamer
1 cup Hershey's unsweetened cocoa
1 cup sugar

Mix together. Store in cool dry place. To reconstitute, add 3/4 cup boiling water to 1/3 cup mix, or to taste.
For my own use, I make mine with Splenda instead of sugar.

Your gift idea is a good one. You can also put the hot chocolate mix in a baggie with some mini marshmallows, tie with a ribbon and stick the baggie of mix in a mug with a candy cane . . . Instant Gift! And it doesn't require as much mix as a whole jar. (When there are a lot of teachers, teachers assistants, etc, it's quick, cheap, and easy!)

sauce is very simple...vinegar, salt, and seasons to taste: but the secret lies in the length of time you allow the peppers to age in your canning. Cold mash, reg mash canning mash all very important determining factors in your original taste. Have Fun!

I agree with you about the peduncle, but the potting media are not dry (at least to the touch). The leaves may look a bit wilted, but it is not from lack of water. I decided to pick all the chilies with dead looking stems; here they are:I wonder if I waited too long to pick them, but they had not been on the plant that long, and the white looking ones were never a bright orange. These are not great for cooking with, but I might make some sort of sauce with them this week-end and will store them in the fridge for now. I had to look up peduncle and found this interesting site. I was unaware of the capsaicin gland. The two plants were from Bonnie Plants, and so I might be cautious about buying those again. However, the plants I had gotten from HD before did look better. Here's how the ones from 2014 looked Oct 30, 2014 and they continued to produce through January-Feb 2015. After that, the chilies I got from these plants started to get smaller and smaller, but were still good. Here's the front plant in Feb 11, 2015:
