Malted Mocha Cocoa

On those cold winter nights up here in Wisconsin, a great Hot Cocoa recipe is essential to staying warm. I've tried many hot cocoa recipes. This one is by far the best. Pair it with a hot bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup and you're sure to stay warm!  

• 2 cups Confectioner's sugar 
• 1/2 cup Dutch process unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup Natural unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 1/2 cups Malted milk powder
• 2 tsp Cornstarch
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Instant coffee granules

Directions

Mix all in large bowl.

Place 1/2 cup cocoa mixture in each mug. Fill mugs with hot water. Stir to combine. Top with Whipped Marshmallow Creme (recipe follows) and garnish with crushed malted milk balls if desired. Store in air tight container. Keeps indefinitely in pantry.

Makes 12 servings.
