Its one of our families favorites to dehydrate. They are great for hot cocoa mix if you can stop snacking on them 😋 We dehydrated the little mini peppermint marshmallows last year. They were really good.
We do the same thing. They last all winter. I use the food save to remove the air and seal them tight and then we just have a jar open all winter for cereal, cocoa or anything the grandkids like them in. It's a gamechanger.
I had a brain storm on this recipe! You could replace the white chocolate chips with peanut butter chips or chocolate mint chips, butterscotch chips and I think Walmart sells pumpkin chips and a cinnamon chips during the holiday season.
Very close to how I make it but I add some heavy cream powder instead of part of the milk powder to make it a little more rich. Sometimes some teeny dried marshmallows, sometimes chocolate chips instead of white chips. I love to add this mix to a cup of coffee to make a mocha too. Have some grandkids that don't like coffee so don't add it to the mix.
Rachel you totally inspired me with this series and anyone who didn’t enjoy it is a SCROOGE! Hehe I made a wonderful coconut oil sugar scrub. One scented with lavender and one with tangerine. I did a “garden in a pot.” Seeds from Luke at MIGardener, gloves, trowel & spade. I actually had a couple tall ish 6 inch pots and put the goodies in the pots. Turned out super cute. I also made some edible goodies of peanut butter fudge, potato candy, cookies and our family favorite and tradition, crunchy fudge sandwiches. Now I’m going to go make your cocoa mix!!!! It’ll be perfect to add with my sweet treat bundles. I was also plotting on some yummy add ins already too, like maybe a bit of cinnamon or maybe nutmeg, a few of the tiny cocoa marshmallows? Idk but I’ll probably make two batches, one just as you did and one with an add in or two. LOL I always make a new recipe just how the creator did it because I want to experience it just as you do before or if I ever tweak anything. I just really want to say thank you and wish you and Todd and your family a very Merry Christmas! God Bless ~Lisa
I love how you don’t need to measure anything. My head would blow up if I did that. I’m not good at just looking and dumping, I even slice bread crooked and had to buy a thingy for getting even slices. What a gal!
Can't wait to make this. I Dehydrated some Minnie marshmallows and going to add that to my cocoa mix, I bought mugs with my adult kids with their zodiac sign on the mugs
At the end when you said all we need is some snow and with the big smile on your face, you just looked so content with life, it does not get any better than that i guess. Thanks for sharing Rachel hope you and Todd have a lovely xmas, love and hugs from the UK.
I absolutely love this recipe thank you so so much. Love watching you and your husband on your homestead. I just have to get this out though…..Rachel…Girl…Ya gotta measure DRY ingredients in Dry measure cups and WET ingredients in Liquid measure cups….you’re killing me girl~!~! This is already a household favorite and I am making another batch today. Thank you for a great gift idea and video as always~! HAPPY HOLIDAYS from our tiny homestead to yours~!
There’s nothing better than homemade cocoa on a cold winter day! Thanks for sharing. We love mixing cocoa mix in a cup of hot coffee for a mocha treat. Merry Christmas 🎄
Sounds yummy! I've discovered a homemade chai tea latte mix that I am really enjoying. I know the spices aren't for everyone but I am loving it with milk. I will need to give this a try. Where did you find the single serving self stick baggies. Those would work perfectly to give my mix away too.😊
Could you perhaps put together a play list of recipes for Christmas and gift giving? I had to hunt forever to find this recipe and I know there are other mixes you made for Christmas. Also recall cookies.
Can you share where you purchased those cute little bags? Adorable!! And do you think you could cajole your neighbor for the iced oatmeal cookie recipe? I have wanted one like this for years and can't find it!!
Just made up another batch!!! Stepdaughter came over and said "oh my...that is awesome!" Guess what she's getting for Christmas??? #nomoreprocessedfoods!!!
Hello. That1870'sHomestead. Hey. Rachel, you look so good. Does that mean you are well. Thank god you look so well to do your video. I love your video of making hot chocolate. You are so wonderful. God Bless, wishing you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. Maria.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've wanted to make this kind of mix for a long time, just haven't ever gotten around to it. I'm not a tea/coffee drinker, but some cold days just call for something hot to warm ya up from the inside. I tried looked on your Amazon link but didn't see the little baggies you just used for the single serve portions....but did find some by just searching. What size did you use? Thank you in advance
I about jumped thru the screen to join you! haha. I will try this. What size are the bags please? Did you get them from 'Clear Bags.com? Thanks so much for sharing. You make such fun and cool stuff! :)
If you turn the food processor on and pour the chocolate chips through the chute it will chop them smaller so they mix more evenly. I make 3 different flavours of dry mix for my Mum for Mother’s Day each year. She loves it.
I dehydrated mini marshmallows for hot cocoa....omgosh it's a game changer! They stay the same size and are like lucky charms. Looks so yummy!
As I started reading this my mind thought of lucky charms. Did you use a dehydrator or did you do low and slow in the oven?

We dehydrated the little mini peppermint marshmallows last year. They were really good.
I found a big bag of lucky charms or like dehydrated marshmallows at Rural King. Grandbabies would love.

Or perhaps marshmallows?😋
Good idea!

The individual bags would be perfect for teachers or coworkers with a cute mug, candy cane and a cute tag.
I need to try this. I have everything but the dried milk. Chopping up candy canes to add would be good too.

This gift wouldn't last a night in my house. Hot chocolate is one of our favorite!
I use powder vanilla extract instead of white chocolate. Tastes good as well

My son, who is a hot chocolate lover, heard me watching your video and asked if we could make this! I’m now looking for ingredients. Lol. 😀
Thanks, I am going to get all the ingredients and make my hubby some of this. He and the grandkiddos will love it..

Another yummy sweet super cute idea. Love the little packages.
Thanks so much! 😊
Nice idea. I'd prefer a jar with instructions though to reduce plastic waste. ☕
So happy you are feeling better. The mix looks great. Thanks.
Thanks so much
Thank you for sharing. Never thought about putting chocolate chips in it! Have to remember that the next time I make some!
It's so good!
Have you ever thought of adding a few mini-marshmallows into those single serving sized bags of cocoa? Might be worth a try. Would be extra yummy!!
Sounds delish Rachel!!
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year's
Can't wait to try.
I am going to make this for my tomorrow. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the idea. We are looking to put some special gifts together and hot chocolate is a great gift.

My kids can't have dairy, I'm thinking I should try this with some powdered coconut milk! :D
Sounds good to me
If your kids can drink goats milk, Meyenberg sells it in cans and powdered.
Could you perhaps put together a play list of recipes for Christmas and gift giving? I had to hunt forever to find this recipe and I know there are other mixes you made for Christmas. Also recall cookies.
Merry Christmas, both you sweeties!

Looks like you’re feeling better?! I’ve been thinking about you... 🙏🏽

You could put a couple marshmallows in each baggie
Linda from Ct
Wow, yummy.... Hope you are feeling better, not sure how your videos get done.
I am!
Where did you get the cute little bags? Looks so yummy!
2nd hand shop
@@1870s very cool!
Thank you
when using the dry milk powder, can the mixture be added to hot water or is using some kind of milk necessary? Just curious 😊
Do you have a link for the little baggies you used? If not, do you know what size they are?
Can you put what’s in the bag in an ornament? Maybe have room for marshmallows ?
you can try

Do you have a homemade dry
Ranch dressing mix to make at home ?
Linda from Ct
Nope, don't have a recipe for that. We don't use it too often.
If you would vaccuum seal it would it last longer
Can I replace white chocolate chips to chocolate powder
I about jumped thru the screen to join you! haha. I will try this. What size are the bags please? Did you get them from 'Clear Bags.com? Thanks so much for sharing. You make such fun and cool stuff! :)
What size were your little bags
I don't like white chocolate, could I substitute semi-sweet?
You can do whatever you like just sharing my recipe
Just looked up the powdered milk they are out of stock and do not know when it will be back
Where did you get the lil baggies
Posted a link on our facebook page, mine were gifted.
If you turn the food processor on and pour the chocolate chips through the chute it will chop them smaller so they mix more evenly.
I make 3 different flavours of dry mix for my Mum for Mother’s Day each year. She loves it.
I have been looking for dried milk with no success. We’re are you purchasing your dry ingredients.
We've had the dry milk for a while and store it in the freezer, but almost all our dry ingredients are purchased off Amazon
I don't understand why it's only shelf stable for 1-2 months? It's just all powder.
Milk powder will spoil
Could you use chocolate chips rather then the white chocalate chips
Yes
