I've made this a few times now and it's by far better than anything out of those little packets from a grocery store. YUM!

I make my own hot cocoa mix, which is wonderful. I wanted to try this recipe, because it makes a smaller batch and it is nearing the end of winter. I made it as instructed (leaving out the cornstarch & pepper. I tried a mug and just about hurled it! Sorry Alton, but unless the ingredient amounts were incorrect, it was nasty!! I am going to try and salvage my ingredients by adding lots more dry milk, coffee creamer and maybe somemore powdered sugar, but no gurantees. :o(

This was the best hot chocolate I have ever had. It was less sweet and more chocolate. Even my 9 nine year old loved it and she can be picky. Extra yummy!

This is easy to make, easy to use, and even works if you chill it down after mixing.

Very Creamy, Just they way I like it and I add whip cream on the top for extra creamy flavor.

I halved the recipe and used Hershey's dutch-processed cocoa for my trial batch. The flavor was good even with cheap cocoa powder; I really liked the kick that the cayenne pepper gave, and it was definitely not too sweet. However, it was certainly watery and not creamy. I will probably have to fill my cup more than half-full if I want it to be richer. But it could also be because of the non-fat dry milk powder that I used (it was the only one I could find in the supermarket. Soooo glad I made my own cocoa mix. Mariebelle's costs $21 for its hot cocoa mix that only makes $7 cups. And this is DEFINITELY a thousand times better than Swiss Miss! That was sickly sweet! Conclusion--make this recipe, but be prepared to use a lot of mix per cup.

I make hot cocoa mix every year. Previously I've used the one that uses Nestle quick. It was just too sweet. I hated giving my kids all that sugar! This one is less sweet and much more chocolatey! I love it! It is exactly what I was looking for. My mom says it's the best hot chocolate she's ever had...I have to agree. The cayanne adds such a great taste that makes you furrow your brow trying to place the flavor! Yummmy!
