Jenny's Hot Chocolate Mix
From
my new next-door neighbor - Lee Wheeler - I like this stuff so well, I can eat
it with a spoon! I bet it would be good on ice cream... it's sure good in milk!
1
Can Eagle Brand Milk (the Wal-Mart substitute for Eagle Brand is just as good
and about half as expensive!)
¾ C
chocolate chips
Melt
chocolate chips with milk in top of double boiler or in microwave.
Add:
1 tsp Vanilla - Let cool COMPLETELY.
In
a chilled bowl, beat: 1 C Heavy Whipping Cream until the cream develops 'body'
- soft peaks. In other words, don't get
stiff peaks or turn it into butter.
Mix
that with the cooled chocolate mixture and put in canning jars. This recipe
will fill about four and a half jars. Keep in refrigerator - if it lasts that
long to have some to store.
For
hot chocolate, fill a heavy pan with whole milk, add a heaping tablespoon per
cup, or more!, of the mixture and heat . Put in mugs with miniature
marshmallows and prepare for chocolate heaven.
This
makes a great 'hostess' gift - or a wonderful bribe for aunts and grandmothers!

2 C
Tang

Instant Tea
2 C
Sugar
3 C
Lemonade
½
tsp cinnamon
½
tsp cloves
1
package Red Hots
Put
all in a bowl that can be covered with a tight lid and mix well. You can play
with the proportions - if you like a more 'tea-like' flavor, cut down on the
Lemonade and add more tea. Or add less Tang and more tea. It's a versatile
recipe.
