Hot Chocolate

[sctmom]

Many kids have never had "real" hot chocolate, only the powdered mixed kind. Next time you're camping, have them slowly heat MILK and add chocolate. Didn't take my son long to realize this tasted MUCH better than the mix.

 

Also, I ran across this recipe that sounds good. I haven't tried it, but when I do, I'll let you know. Serves 8. Sounds like a good camping option when you have plenty of water available but want to save space by using canned milk instead of regular milk.

 

cup baking cocoa

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

1/8 teaspoon of salt

6 cups water

1 teaspoons vanilla extract

 

In a large saucepan, combine the cocoa, milk and salt. Cook and stir over medium heat. Gradually add water; cook and stir until heated through. Stir in vanilla.
