Bethann says
Do you have a sugar free hot chocolate recipe for those with diabetes?
Ashlee says
Just wondering how necessary the CoffeeMate Creamer is..? My husband is allergic to some of the ingredients in it and we can’t find any without those things. What does it do for the cocoa? Is there something we can replace it with?
Cathy says
My daughter uses Leaner Creamer instead of coffee mate. They probably have a list of ingredients on their website. It tastes really good but it quite pricey. Hope that helps.

Leslie Burckard says
Cathy, How many and what size jars will this batch make?
Stacy @Stacy Makes Cents says
I made these for Christmas gifts this year. Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
renee says
How big is the jar ? With your recipe how many jars can we make ? TY
Leslie Burckard says
Yes, please i need to know. Thank you.
Andrea says
Does anyone know of a powdered milk that tastes good? Or do the added flavorings do enough for it not to matter? Thanks! 🙂
Margaret says
With the cocoa mix you get a creamy cup of yum! You can’t taste the powered milk.
Sydney says
I am so excited to make this for this Christmas! I am curious – do you know how many people this could serve? I am looking to give it to a couple 🙂 Thank you. Love this website!
Bonny Lee says
I made up this mix last year, and took it to a gathering for people who wanted hot cocoa rather than coffee or tea. I put enough mix in a clear, disposable pastry bag, to make one serving of hot cocoa. Then I added some mini marshmallow on top of the mix. I tied off the bag, above the marshmallows with a few twists of a brown pipe cleaner, and then shaped them to look like antlers on a deer. I added 2 eyes, and a red pom pom to the point of the bag, to look like Rudolph’s nose.
They were a big hit. Many people asked how to make them so they also could.
Heidi says
What a cute idea, Bonny!
Brittany says
This is such a great gift idea! I am pinning this to save for later, thanks for sharing!
Karina says

Beth Stagdon says
