I had a brain storm on this recipe! You could replace the white chocolate chips with peanut butter chips or chocolate mint chips, butterscotch chips and I think Walmart sells pumpkin chips and a cinnamon chips during the holiday season.
Or perhaps marshmallows?😋
Good idea!
I dehydrated mini marshmallows for hot cocoa....omgosh it's a game changer! They stay the same size and are like lucky charms. Looks so yummy!
As I started reading this my mind thought of lucky charms. Did you use a dehydrator or did you do low and slow in the oven?
Its one of our families favorites to dehydrate. They are great for hot cocoa mix if you can stop snacking on them 😋
We dehydrated the little mini peppermint marshmallows last year. They were really good.
I found a big bag of lucky charms or like dehydrated marshmallows at Rural King. Grandbabies would love.
We do the same thing. They last all winter. I use the food save to remove the air and seal them tight and then we just have a jar open all winter for cereal, cocoa or anything the grandkids like them in. It's a gamechanger.
Very close to how I make it but I add some heavy cream powder instead of part of the milk powder to make it a little more rich. Sometimes some teeny dried marshmallows, sometimes chocolate chips instead of white chips. I love to add this mix to a cup of coffee to make a mocha too. Have some grandkids that don't like coffee so don't add it to the mix.
This gift wouldn't last a night in my house. Hot chocolate is one of our favorite!
The individual bags would be perfect for teachers or coworkers with a cute mug, candy cane and a cute tag.
Rachel you totally inspired me with this series and anyone who didn’t enjoy it is a SCROOGE! Hehe I made a wonderful coconut oil sugar scrub. One scented with lavender and one with tangerine. I did a “garden in a pot.” Seeds from Luke at MIGardener, gloves, trowel & spade. I actually had a couple tall ish 6 inch pots and put the goodies in the pots. Turned out super cute. I also made some edible goodies of peanut butter fudge, potato candy, cookies and our family favorite and tradition, crunchy fudge sandwiches. Now I’m going to go make your cocoa mix!!!! It’ll be perfect to add with my sweet treat bundles. I was also plotting on some yummy add ins already too, like maybe a bit of cinnamon or maybe nutmeg, a few of the tiny cocoa marshmallows? Idk but I’ll probably make two batches, one just as you did and one with an add in or two. LOL I always make a new recipe just how the creator did it because I want to experience it just as you do before or if I ever tweak anything. I just really want to say thank you and wish you and Todd and your family a very Merry Christmas! God Bless ~Lisa
I love how you don’t need to measure anything. My head would blow up if I did that. I’m not good at just looking and dumping, I even slice bread crooked and had to buy a thingy for getting even slices. What a gal!
I need to try this. I have everything but the dried milk. Chopping up candy canes to add would be good too.
Okay after watching all your wonderful Christmas cooking and goodies I am moving in with you. 🎄☕️
I literally said out loud “ha Rachel they were already bite sized “ 😂😂
I make a cold brew with your recipe thank you
Nice idea. I'd prefer a jar with instructions though to reduce plastic waste. ☕
So glad to see you are feeling better!
New subscriber here. Binge watching your videos. Came to you through The Kneady Homesteader.
Awe yeah!! Welcome 🤗 our videos are well maintained in playlist in case you are interested in one topic more than another 🙂
Thank you for starting off my day like this. Have a wonderful day.
Can't wait to make this. I Dehydrated some Minnie marshmallows and going to add that to my cocoa mix, I bought mugs with my adult kids with their zodiac sign on the mugs
My mom always made a huge batch of hot cocoa mix (minus the choc chips) and we drank that from October through March in Iowa
Same in ohio
This sounds so delicious
I cant wait too make
Thank you
Linda from Ct
You have such a good heart! Thanks to you and Todd for sharing your garden, farm and home with all of us. Love and peace to you and happy holidays!
Thank you for the receipt. I made this ❤️
Have you ever thought of adding a few mini-marshmallows into those single serving sized bags of cocoa? Might be worth a try. Would be extra yummy!!
My kids can't have dairy, I'm thinking I should try this with some powdered coconut milk! :D
Sounds good to me
If your kids can drink goats milk, Meyenberg sells it in cans and powdered.
My son, who is a hot chocolate lover, heard me watching your video and asked if we could make this! I’m now looking for ingredients. Lol. 😀
Looks very good, will have to try..yummmm
I absolutely love this recipe thank you so so much. Love watching you and your husband on your homestead. I just have to get this out though…..Rachel…Girl…Ya gotta measure DRY ingredients in Dry measure cups and WET ingredients in Liquid measure cups….you’re killing me girl~!~! This is already a household favorite and I am making another batch today. Thank you for a great gift idea and video as always~! HAPPY HOLIDAYS from our tiny homestead to yours~!
I am definitely a non conformist, lol. Merry Christmas
At the end when you said all we need is some snow and with the big smile on your face, you just looked so content with life, it does not get any better than that i guess. Thanks for sharing Rachel hope you and Todd have a lovely xmas, love and hugs from the UK.

Sounds yummy! I've discovered a homemade chai tea latte mix that I am really enjoying. I know the spices aren't for everyone but I am loving it with milk. I will need to give this a try. Where did you find the single serving self stick baggies. Those would work perfectly to give my mix away too.😊
Oh please please share you chai tea atte mix recipe.
Please share!
There’s nothing better than homemade cocoa on a cold winter day! Thanks for sharing. We love mixing cocoa mix in a cup of hot coffee for a mocha treat. Merry Christmas 🎄

Thank you for sharing. Never thought about putting chocolate chips in it! Have to remember that the next time I make some!
It's so good!
Could you perhaps put together a play list of recipes for Christmas and gift giving? I had to hunt forever to find this recipe and I know there are other mixes you made for Christmas. Also recall cookies.
Thanks so much. Hubs will love it. Merry Christmas.

when using the dry milk powder, can the mixture be added to hot water or is using some kind of milk necessary? Just curious 😊

Can you share where you purchased those cute little bags? Adorable!! And do you think you could cajole your neighbor for the iced oatmeal cookie recipe? I have wanted one like this for years and can't find it!!
Yes please ❣️🥰
Mine were gifted but I shared a link today on our facebook page.
Thank you
Love this idea!!! Can you share your source for the cute little bags?
I have no idea where I got them. Sorry
Looks like you’re feeling better?! I’ve been thinking about you... 🙏🏽
I am thank you. Merry Christmas
Wow, yummy.... Hope you are feeling better, not sure how your videos get done.
I am!
What a great gift idea, where did you get the bags?? Thank you
I think I found them on Amazon
Where did you get the cute little bags? Looks so yummy!
2nd hand shop
@@1870s very cool!
Do you have a link for the little baggies you used? If not, do you know what size they are?
❤
I've wanted to make this kind of mix for a long time, just haven't ever gotten around to it. I'm not a tea/coffee drinker, but some cold days just call for something hot to warm ya up from the inside.
I tried looked on your Amazon link but didn't see the little baggies you just used for the single serve portions....but did find some by just searching. What size did you use?
Thank you in advance
Can you put what’s in the bag in an ornament? Maybe have room for marshmallows ?
you can try
Rachel
Do you have a homemade dry
Ranch dressing mix to make at home ?
Linda from Ct
Nope, don't have a recipe for that. We don't use it too often.
If you would vaccuum seal it would it last longer
Can I replace white chocolate chips to chocolate powder
I don't like white chocolate, could I substitute semi-sweet?
You can do whatever you like just sharing my recipe
I have been looking for dried milk with no success. We’re are you purchasing your dry ingredients.
We've had the dry milk for a while and store it in the freezer, but almost all our dry ingredients are purchased off Amazon
What size were your little bags
Could you use chocolate chips rather then the white chocalate chips
Yes
Where did you get the lil baggies
Posted a link on our facebook page, mine were gifted.
Just looked up the powdered milk they are out of stock and do not know when it will be back
I about jumped thru the screen to join you! haha. I will try this. What size are the bags please? Did you get them from 'Clear Bags.com? Thanks so much for sharing. You make such fun and cool stuff! :)
I don't understand why it's only shelf stable for 1-2 months? It's just all powder.
Milk powder will spoil
If you turn the food processor on and pour the chocolate chips through the chute it will chop them smaller so they mix more evenly.
I make 3 different flavours of dry mix for my Mum for Mother’s Day each year. She loves it.
