    AB comes up with the most interesting ideas. I tweeked this a bit. The dry milk was in granules instead of a powder. I put the 5 cups (double recipe through the food processor to give the resulting mix a more powder consistency throughout. Ends up looking just like the SM brand but way better for me. Does that mean I can drink this stuff all day? PS. A tablespoon of the mix is GREAT on top of ice cream

    3 years ago I was looking for a recipe to make my own hot chocolate and tried this one and loved it. Can't drink store bought now even if "premium". I don't add the cayenne pepper because of having small children, but will sometimes add my own Irish Cream syrup, Redi Whip, or even coffee creamer. Love it! And, at least you know what ingredients are in it.

    This stuff is great. I'm not sure what changed from the last time I made this and rated it a year ago, but my opinion of it has gone up immensely. I would highly recommend putting all the ingredients in a food processor or blender to minimize clumps. Also fantastic with a blob of marshmallow fluff.
