Day 4: Hot Cocoa Bulk Mix
|
Hello, Reader Welcome Day 4 of the 12 Days of Dehydrating for Christmas We talked about dehydrated marshmallows the other day. So let's piggy back off that with a rich and tasty hot cocoa mix that your family and friends will love!! And while this isn't an actual dehydrating project....it's a perfect partner to dehydrated marshmallows, so I wanted to include it in the list. Day 4: Bulk Hot Cocoa MixThis bulk hot cocoa mix is so versatile and makes a great gift in small single servings or in bulk for storage or family gift-giving. Adding things like dehydrated marshmallows, peppermint pieces, fun stir sticks, or chocolate dipped orange slices can make it even more special.
Ideas for Gifting• Create a cute 'reindeer' gift package with a cone candy bag, a candied cherry as the nose, a layer of hot cocoa mix, topping with dehydrated marshmallows. • Add peppermint sticks for stir sticks • Dip graham crackers in chocolate to add as a side dish for a special night time treat • Gift in a hot cocoa mug Remember, if you can't find the malted milk powder, you can skip it. You can also decrease the amount of powdered sugar - it's a really versatile recipe. Until next time... Nevertheless, she preserved!

Hi, Reader It's Day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas! Marshmallows are a fun treat to put into the dehydrator.
