    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.

    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!

    • @urflow6059
      @urflow6059 3 роки тому

      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?

    • @Emeraldwitch30
      @Emeraldwitch30 3 роки тому

      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.

    • @aliceserna614

      I found a big bag of lucky charms or like dehydrated marshmallows at Rural King. Grandbabies would love.

    • @dorykoszewski3162
      @dorykoszewski3162 3 роки тому

      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.

    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 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
