DIY Amaretto Hot Cocoa Mix

This is a perfect (super easy) last minute gift for teachers/friends/coworkers, or make a batch for the family on Christmas morning to sip while opening presents!

Amaretto Hot Cocoa

8 cups dry milk (10oz)

1, 1 lb box confectioners sugar 

1, 16 oz can of Amaretto flavored coffee creamer 

1, 8 oz box Hershey's Cocoa (natural unsweetened)

1/2 tsp. salt

This makes about 20 cups so be prepared to give a lot to friends or cut the recipe down. Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl until combined. Store in an airtight container.

To serve: stir 3 heaping tablespoons of mix into about 6 oz of hot water. Top with mini marshmallows if desired. Enjoy!

We made this to give to the teachers at Ariana's preschool and we made cute little labels for them and topped the jars with fabric, twine and a candy cane.

Here is the label we made. Feel free to save and print them for your cocoa too!

My Mom and her friend invented this drink this summer. What better way to get the nutrition from 8 fruits and vegetables than by sipping it with alcohol haha! I enjoyed trying this when I was home and loved it so much I wanted to share it on my blog.
