 Ingredients:

  • 3 cups nonfat dry milk powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup nonfat dairy creamer

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

To prepare mix:
1. Measure ingredients into mixing bowl; stirring well to combine ingredients.
2. Store prepared mix in a covered container or in a reclosable plastic bag.

To prepare drink:
1. Fill a micro-safe mug 3/4 full of water. Microwave for 2 minutes on high.
2. Measure 1/3 cup mix and stir into hot water.


Helpful Hints:

This mix is easy to make and store, and costs a lot less than the kinds you buy at the store. Kids love its creamy, chocolatey flavor, and it makes a great warm drink for cold days. Keep a canister of mix ready as part of a healthy after-school snack - and maybe some mini-marshmallows, too!

Safety Tip:

Be sure kids know how to safely use the microwave oven, and that they know which cups are safe to use in the microwave. Cooks of all ages, remember to use caution - hot cups and hot liquids can really burn - and put a chill on cooking enthusiasm!
