I want to make it homemade because, face it, it's too expensive to buy in the store for as much as we'll use it.
So! I want a GOOD recipe, that doesn't take ingredients that no normal person keeps in their house, lol.
I just bought a thing of Hershey's cocoa now, so that is my cocoa for it.

I haven't made one in a while but when I did, I remember Hershey's cocoa, powdered milk, powdered sugar... I don't remember what else.

Ive never made it...

I just use the packets, my mema makes the best but she probably wont remember now. Lol -
Yeah, I don't but the preachers when I buy it. I buy the canister, and in the off brand, but it's still just too expensive.

I want to say hershys non sweetened cocoa is chocolate powder, sugar and vanilla. I think it says on the canister and then milk. I prefer girardeli (sp) because it uses less powder per 8 oz of milk. All the others and especially generics want like 4-6 tsp of cocoa per 6-8 oz of milk. At those amounts it doesn't last long. Girardeli uses 1.5 tsp per 8 oz.
I've also played with a hot chocolate truffle. It's a soft truffle that you freeze and then drop it in the cup with the milk, nook it and mix. It's good but putsy to make. -

It's good but putsy to make.Walmart doesn't sell powered Girardeli. It was Hershey's or Nestle, lol. I was hoping to see dutch processed, as if it had been cheap enough I'd try it, or even Hershey's dark chocolate powder, but nothing.
I need a recipe, though, that you add to hot water, and not to milk. I know of a good one to do using hot milk, but that's a lot of milk to go through, lol. Nonetheless, water doesn't scald like milk does, lol.

I'm no help then. I refuse to use water. It's just not the same.

LOL, I agree water is better, but to stand at a stove top and constantly stir a pot of milk so it doesn't scald... not my idea of fun, lol. I'd rather let a pot of water get boiling :)

I have a hot chocolate mixer. No boiling milk. It keeps it at the perfect temp and turns off when it reaches that temp.
