For your customers on a cold day Tue, 01/8/08 10:42 PM (permalink)
How about this for your customers on a cold winters day? This could be a great free sample item but instead I'd just give them a small cup. Not so small that they just throw it down but at least big enough they drive or walk away thinking "Wow what a great treat".

This hot cocoa mix can be stored in an airtight container for three months. It uses two different/unusual ingredients: White chocolate chips give the cocoa a very soft, creamy texture and amplifies the chocolate flavor; and the cornstarch in the confectioners' sugar (an ingredient manufacturers add to prevent clumping) helps thicken the cocoa.

Makes about 20 servings

3 cups nonfat dry milk
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine ingredients in large bowl. Working in two batches, pulse ingredients in food processor until chocolate is finely ground. To make hot cocoa, stir 1/3 cup mix into 1 cup hot milk. Top with whipped cream or mini marshmallows. If your making this for adults add a shot of your favorite peppermint schnapps makes it killer good.

    At place I ran in NE we would do Hot/warm drinks in the bar during the winter....the cocoa and peppermint schnapps was called a "snuggler", one made with ammeratto was a "cocoa A'more" we also had a "double dutch" vandermint, dark cocao, and hot cocoa. Man those things would just fly out of the bar after dinner
    I'm going to try your recipie on the wife...she LOVES chocolate, and this one sounds great.
    Thanks for sharing.

        It sounds really nice.

        I worry though that the recipients of your largess might not have enough hands to carry everything away. Give me my little cup at the onset and I may order less, just as a matter of hand management.

            I thought the reindeer were supposed to fly high - not the elves!

              That looks really good. As soon as we get our next cold front, I think I will make it, with some Jamaican dark rum.

                don't you need a liquor license to serve that? Or because it's a sample it's okay?

                  also, do you need to check ID's??? However, I'm up for one (or a couple).

                    Hey it's a Treat "Wow what a great treat" is the thought they will have not "oh how do I juggle this with my brief case and all". For Gods sake if you think hard and long enough you can turn anything into a problem. That's whats wrong with this country today. Get over it.
