    so is it the Nestle's that makes it so rich? I was thinking of canning some of the LDS hot chocolate mix and wondering how that might change the taste. I've not tried the LDS choc...

    anyone??

    H oder: unsweetened :)
    Dread Pirate: what a great recipe!! got the best compliment I could get: my son's best friend (8th grade) was telling all their friends at school how good his mom's hot chocolate was

    The only change I made was that I used 3 Tbls of DARK cocoa! yum!

    Going through it like crazy here-- and it's hubby who is drinking the most!

    LOL He's never been crazy about hot cocoa, but now he is! :D

    I've discovered (after making numerous batches for all the teachers the kids want to give something to), that I like it best w/o the creamer (or very little), plus extra cocoa & Nesquick...filled the jars & added a bag of miniature marshmallows on the top

    Dreadpirate - now I know why you prefer TBS instead of tsp for your cocoa - yummy!

    Next batch I make is just for the family!

    Were you using pint jars?

    quarts - I think I got about 6 or 7 quarts making a double batch? of course, we had to use some of it for taste testing...

    hmmm...a pound is 16 oz, the converter (link below) says that would be 3.63 cups of powdered (icing) sugar... I just bought a 2 lb bag of it & split in half between 2 batches...

    the converter also says 1 cup of raw sugar = 2 cups of icing sugar - don't know if that helps at all...

    oh - I just googled "powdered sugar converter" to come up with a list of sites to use...
