Hot Cocoa Mix

After a cold, snowy day, I came home from work and decided that I needed to make some home-made hot cocoa mix. I also made pancakes for dinner. YUMMY!
When I was little, my family had the best hot chocolate recipe. However, before I got too old, there were not enough of us in the house to use up an entire batch. My older brother decided to take our family recipe and make it into a mix. I thought I would share it with everyone.

FARRAR FAMILY HOT CHOCOLATE MIX
In a bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/3 cup cocoa (we prefer the winco brand) If you use RICH cocoa, you may want to only put in 1/4 cup. Stir well.
Add in 3 cups of dried/powder milk. Stir well.
Put in a air tight container.
To use: add 1/4 cup mix (or more to taste) to each 8 oz of HOT water and stir well.
I will admit, I tried a new brand of powdered milk and the milk was in big clumps so it didn't mix in very well even though my water was BOILING! So you may want to beware of this.
This is great to have and costs a lot less then buying all the mixes from the store.
