SHOW NOTES:

Best-Ever Hot Cocoa Mix
Makes about 20 servings



3
cups  nonfat dry milk
(Nonfat dry milk adds a sweet dairy flavor to the cocoa, especially if you reconstitute the mix with hot milk instead of hot water.)


2
cups  confectioners' sugar
(Confectioners’ sugar works best in this recipe. It dissolves quickly and the cornstarch, an ingredient manufacturers add to the sugar to prevent clumping, helps thicken the cocoa.)


1 1/2
cups  Dutch-processed cocoa powder


1 1/2
cups  white chocolate chips
(White chocolate provided our cocoa with a soft, creamy texture and pushes the chocolate flavor to new heights.)


1/4
teaspoon  Salt



Combine ingredients in large bowl. Working in two batches, pulse ingredients in food processor until chocolate is finely ground. Store in airtight container for up to 3 months. To make hot cocoa, stir 1/3 cup of this mix into 1 cup of hot milk. Top with whipped cream or mini marshmallows.

Today, a painstaking discussion of Justin.tv, Angry Birds, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Christmas present protocol, Facebook unfriending, fruit "juice", Madmania, public radio coffee, new school bluejeans, plus more.
