I have become quite a hot chocolate fan in the past few years. (I don't drink coffee) I use a Dutch cocoa from Holland. My secret is to buy large chocolate bars (Traders Joe has a dark chocolate 1lb bar for $5). I add a square or three per cup, I don't shave the bar , just add it to the boiled water and stir.
love your video. if I might make a suggestion next time prior to putting the chocolate bar in the freezer smash it down on the counter and break the chocolate into lots of pieces than freeze the bar when you go to put the chocolate into your food processor it will already be partially broken down as well as easier to break up
You're definitely the hostess with the mostest! And what a lovely SWEATER!! [I was worried you would get some chocolate powder on your sleeves. LOL!] I love the finished hot chocolate demo. The kitchen torch was a great added touch. My son likes to make creme brulee but his little torch died last year. Hmmmm Maybe I should gift him a new one.
Lois Campbell lol... I rarely wear it for my videos bc of the sleeves but I thought I would be safe for a video that didn’t involve actually cooking 😂. Yes, gift him a new torch with some homemade marshmallows cocoa mix 😉😉💕
White chocolate is not really chocolate even if it has cocoa butter. To be chocolate it must contain chocolate particles not the fats. But agree it still tastes pretty good. 😍
My granddaughter's teachers are going to love the cocoa and marshmallows we made this weekend. They are becoming big fans of yours also. We all like the enchilada sauce, applesauce, Christmas jam, chili beans and French bread that we've made so far. I've made more than that but that's what I've had the girls (age10) make. We love, love, love our weekend cooking lessons :)
Elizabeth Rowe you are all so blessed to have such precious time together. I miss my mom and grandmother so very much but treasure the memories 💕. Make as many memories as possible... your grand babies will treasure them even more when they’re older 🤗
I made the double chocolate hot chocolate and it was absolutely delicious. Thanks for also letting me in the secret that the quality of brand you use impacts the taste of hot chocolate. I decided to go with all the ingredients you provided. This truly came out really good. I also put them in mason jars and gifted it out to few friends. Thanks for sharing
oh yes that is the best hot cocoa mix, mine is made with all dry ingredients and makes a a gallons worth of dry mix which would last for the whole year and then some maybe.
This tutorial is fantastic! ... easy directions, and a wonderful array of choices - what a treat ... you didn’t skip ONE beat = #SoImpressive, ThankYou ♥️
I love it!! Thank you for sharing Carol. I Will be using your recipes shortly for wooden crate hot cocoa bar gifts. Can’t wait to try the white cocoa it sounds delicious!

The white chocolate one looks so good!
Can we added less powder sugar ? Also can the powder milk be substitute for anything else . ?
I would not use less powdered sugar and I’m not sure what you could use in place of the powdered milk as milk is the base of hot cocoa
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 got
It Thanks for answering . Looking forward to doing it with my kiddo
Maybe nondairy powdered coffee creamer would help?
Love these ideas Carol!
Your family is so very lucky to have you ~ Hot chocolate bar is such a great idea

Que rico se ve todo 😋 mmmm
Can we make white chocolate mix without pudding mix.... Any substitute for white cho pudding
I’ve never tried it without.
Quick question on the white hot chocolate mix. Is the white chocolate pudding supposed to be instant? Thanks
Yes
Carol I just made this and its delicious!! What a treat! I was just wondering how you store the mix...in the pantry or in the refrigerator?
I store mine in my pantry 😊
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thank you!
Yuuumm!! I wish i was at the chocolate bar..😔
Momma's Cooking 💕
Is there something else I can use if I don’t have a food processor?
Your blender 😊
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 okay thx 😊
Would it affect if using the blender? How long should I blend it for ?
GADDARD WHITE CHIPS Dose contain COCOA BUTTER, also other brends include LINDT and LAUNA SECORD White chocolate Bars...
Thanks for the recipes. If I don't want to add chocolate chips to the Double Chocolate, should I add a bit more powder sugar? If so, how much more?
MsIzabelaK you don’t need more of anything... the chocolate chips just make it more chocolatey 😊
Carol! Thank goodness for your ingredient explanation. I was thinking, “chickpeas?!?! 😳Why the heck are chickpeas there??” 🤭😂😂
Keepingourhome 😂🤣😂
I was shocked to find Clover brand from Dollar General chocolate chips had cocoa butter as the 3rd ingredient.
I’m a chocolate nut lol Lol!!👍❤️🙏
