1.) "The Very Best Hot Chocolate"
This is a wonderful hot chocolate recipe which Mom Knox gave us back in 1970, when Coffee Mate first came out. Mom & Dad Knox lived in Amish Country on the east side of Ohio, and this is around the area it was started by the Amish. People (including myself) have played around with the recipe, but always seem to go back to the beginning. Hope you enjoy this as much as we have!!
1 - 16 oz. CoffeeMate (I use the 22 oz.)
1 - 16 oz. Nestles Quik
1 - 3 qt. box Carnation Inst. Milk
1 - C. powdered sugar
Take all of these and mix together well. Store in an air-tight container. When ready to serve, fill mug 1/3 full with chocolate mixture, add boiling water, and stir, Stir, STIR!!! Add either Redi-whip, whipped cream, or marshmellows on top and enjoy!!
**I also love to put 1+ tsp. inst. coffee in with it.
If you like you can add vanilla or butterscotch chips in.
