this sounds yummy i can't wait to try it out, however i like many others would like to try it out when the weather is a little cooler than 85 degrees but hopefully this weekend they say it is gonna get cooler... I can't wait to try this and it will make such a great gift for Christmas Thanks Sherri

Thanks again .... I will be making this for gifts. I'll have to wait until the skunk smell in my house goes away .... or someone will wonder why my hot chocolate mix has a peculiar odor and taste....lol (darn skunk and stupid dog)

Does anyone know how much 25.6 oz box of Carnation Powdered milk equals in cups? I bought the 4.4 lb. size and now I don't know how to convert it? HELP!!

I had this same problem last year. I had to call the company and get it figured out. You need 2 3/4 cups of the powdered milk.

I don't know.

But I was crazing hot cocoa something AWFUL the other day. I finally did buy envelopes but nothing compares to Sherri's stuff.

I promised myself next year at the first hint of cool weather I'm making this up for myself.

Christie,

Was that for the full recipe? The reason I'm asking is that doesn't seem like enough. The 25.6 oz. box makes 8 quarts of milk. You need 1 1/3 cups dry milk to make 1 quart. So, 8 x 1 1/3 cups = 10 2/3 cups. BUT, that sounds like too much. HELP AGAIN!!

Yes, that was for the entire recipe. That is what I used last year and it worked great!

Yes it is ALOT of dry milk you are going to use that whole box.
