Fast easy 4 ingredient hot chocolate mix recipe



I make hot chocolate for my teenagers to drink on their way to school each morning. The other day I woke up and we were out of the little instant envelopes. I thought to myself, "No problem! I have Pinterest!"

When I was a kid, my mom made her own mix and stored it in an ice cream bucket. She even taped the recipe to the top of the lid, but for the life of me, I never read it!! 

I had a hard time finding a recipe that didn't call for chocolate milk mix or coffee creamer which is something most Mormons don't have on-hand. 

Something Mormons do have on-hand though is dry milk from their food storage

So I put this easy, fast, 4 ingredient recipe together which my kids pronounced "pretty good" and that is our goal. 

4 cups dry mix
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup cocoa
1 small box instant pudding, I used sugar-free because that's what I had.

Mix well. Add 1/3 cup mix per mug. Add hot water. Mix thoroughly. Enjoy!
