How to Make Old Fashioned Hot Chocolate Mix

With more and more items these days coming prepackaged and fewer people knowing how and making homemade foods and beverages its time to get back to basics. This hot chocolate mix dates back at least to 1973 in my family and was passed from my grandmother to me. This makes a great mix to have around for cold winter days as well as could make a great gift for someone you know. This is a basic recipe but there are many touches that could be added to make it unique to personal preferences.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:
