My pleasure 😊

I would be interested in the recipe for the homeless shelter.

Do you still have the recipe? If so can I get a copy of it please?! I'm a chocoahlolic also I have chocolate a couple of time minimum a day. LOL Its addicting! Lol But I don't like coffee or tea, don't do the pop thing, drink or smoke. The nurses ask you if you have any caffeine like pop or coffee I say No but I eat chocolate. Now the lady put it in my chart for under caffine now other nurses chuckles when they read it ! If I can also have your recipe that would be awesome. Oh I am addicted to recipes to. My bad! When they tell you its going to be awhile bring something to read no lie I bring cookbooks. Especially the ones that has everyones own favorite that they wanted printed in the books. Love Love um. Thank You You Made Me laugh And Smiled. Happy New year's to everyone, Bye

YAY! So glad!!!

You are so welcome!

That sounds good actually

Thanks ♥

If you love that taste - adjust the ratio up with more malted milk! This is such a forgiving recipe to make it like you love it!

You are so welcome! Hope they love it!

Do you sub both the powder milk and malted milk quantity with dry coconut milk? I use Swerve powder sugar as a sub. If you do want marshmallows, there are vegan ones. You can also make your own whipping cream at home with Aquafaba.

@@lindas9806 I couldn't find a malted vegan milk powder unfortunately. I have made the whipped cream from the aqua faba before and it was good but it just didn't hold up in the fridge for 10 days like the silk stuff does. I switched out the marshmallows just to try and cut down on the amount of sugar. Even so we made this and it was really good. we did also use ripple milk instead of water.

Where do you get your coconut milk powder?

@@jillclark1744 I get it on Amazon, Anthony’s Brand. I think there are other choices.

@@jillclark1744 amazon :-))

Sounds so yummy! Stay warm!

Hope you enjoy!!!

So glad!!!

I really hope you enjoy it!!! Merry Christmas!

Thank you!!

lol -yeah - we all have different flavors that we like, but now you have more for you!

@@ThePurposefulPantry that's exactly what I said!!! ❤❤❤

The nerve of that man! 😤 he apparently lost his taste buds and his mind if he thinks something can be too chocolatey, lol

@@pattyconley4096 RIGHT!!!!! Nothing is EVER "too chocolatey"!! BAWHAHA

My pleasure 😊

This is my recipe (thus Mom to my boys)...my mom would never have done anything but purchased the swiss miss envelopes :D That's how she rolled! I hope you enjoy it if you decide to make it!

Glad you liked it!!

It's in the recipe - I linked it. www.thepurposefulpantry.com/diy-hot-cocoa-mix/#recipe

You should be able to increase that on your own printer settings. Merry Christmas to you, too!

@@ThePurposefulPantry , unfortunately, if I can, it is a mystery. Oh well

@@misskitty4597 in the print dialogue window that opens before you click “Print,” look for a spot that says 100%. You should be able to increase it to fit your needs. For example, 200% would print double the size.

@@username00009 I understand but that is not an option on my printer

But thank you

What a sweet thing to do!

@@ThePurposefulPantry We'll see. . .

Same to you!

That's what the arrowroot powder is for

Sorry to hear that - but everyone's tastes are different!

Same to you!

They are old now and know :D And it'll be YOUR secret to keep now :D

Thank you! You too!

Yep- whatever flavors you prefer.

Happy new year!!

All of the ingredients and sources are linked in the recipe on the blog.

I'm so glad!!!!

It's the tradition of it being the special drink before they go to bed for Christmas. It was only done on Christmas eve and it was just part of the tradition.

Milk also has tryptophan and melatonin in it. That along with the warmth can make person feel sleepy.

You can freezer them - just toss the bags in. Or you can dehydrate them: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbSemL1kyZuYk6M.html Or you can juice and/or can them.

@@ThePurposefulPantry thank you!

Same to you!

We go through a half gallon in the winter and don't store it during the summer, and don't have a problem with it, but depending on your environment, yes, it could cut down on the shelf-life if your storage area is warm.

@@ThePurposefulPantry I live in New Jersey. Last weekend it was 9 and this weekend it will be near 60. I'll just make 1/4 of the recipe Thanks for your reply! Happy New Year!

You can do whatever you'd like!

Coconut oil!!!

She says it in the video - to prevent clumping in storage. You can leave it out ☺️

Might want to take a look at the health benefits of it. If you drink hot chocolate non stop like me you may not want to have it in every cup because it can cause stomach issues. As for me, I'm going to go get some and some peppermint marshmallows.

HA! I'm sure my kids would say differently ♥

Where did I get my what?

@@ThePurposefulPantry salt

From the store. I just don't use table salt for anything.

Depends on the container - some do fine, but the smaller ones don't - those tend to be what I use in small amounts anyway. But the large OXO gets a cup in just fine for me.

The ads are not part of the recipe - they don't print. If you're trying to print the screen instead of printing the actual recipe, that's why you are seeing something else.

Maybe switching to read mode. ... the lines stacked on top of each other in the web page line .. it takes ads out .. so it should not print them from that page... otherwise going into your settings for your printer in order to choose those things. Good luck

@@bref6738 ads don't print.

Then leave it out ;) It's a very forgiving recipe to adjust as you need!

Sorry - we're not gluten free and I know nothing about it - I would not be the person to try to make it - I'm sure there are recipes online that can help.

You can replace the malted milk with regular milk powder.

What has gluten? 🤷

@@dfreak01 that's what I wondered. It's the malt stuff.

So glad!

No, I'm sorry, we don't use them, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how to convert- but it should be easily converted by whatever means you normally use.

@@ThePurposefulPantry Thanks, anyway.

You can buy it online in bulk

I did mention cornstarch, or leave it out completely.

....I purchase Arrowroot powder from Thrive Market online . :)

It's the practice, it was traditional, and when they got it, they knew it was special and time to snuggle in and get ready for bed. They were wee little when we started it and it was just all part of the tradition.

.... it is a natural Sleep inducer IF you use the Dutch Process Cocoa....this type of Cocoa has those properties in it that help one sleep.

I use a small amount of half and half cream, cocoa powder, and cinnamon. Place in a mug and add hot water.

Amazon - or any store that may carry deep pantry basics like this - Winco, Amish stores, etc.

I have the link in the description and in the recipe post, but here it is for your convenience: amzn.to/3WGD4Hb This is an affiliate link

I thought maybe you dehydrated it. 😅 I was like huh, another thing I never thought about dehydrating.

Not even sure what your doing because the recipe doesn't print ads and is 1.5 pages long. Is there a chance you are doing a print the screen and printing out the whole post?

Do print preview and choose the pages you want. You can try the right button on the mouse, too. If nothing else create a new text doc on your computer and copy and paste the parts you want. That won't capture pix, though.

@@dfreak01 But it's not necessary - hit the print button in the recipe box or at the top of the blog post as I showed, and all you will get is the actual recipe - no extras at all.

@@ThePurposefulPantry nope I went specifically to the recipe to print it.

@@jovallebuckmaster What device are you using? We've used 4 of them to test here, and never had your issue.

Then go to the website where I showed you the exact recipe I always use.
