The Holidays are Coming! Gourmet Hot White Chocolate Mix

http://www.noreenskitchen.com Greetings! Today we continue our week's worth of special drink mixes with this wonderful and decadent White Hot Chocolate Mix. This is so simple to make and even easier to drink!

Just mix up some dry milk powder, creamer, vanilla powder, orange peel, sugar and the magic ingredient, Vanilla instant pudding and you are going to have the most amazing hot drink you have ever tasted.

This is also a nice gift for the people on your list who don't really take a shine to regular chocolate. I am one of those people. I much prefer white chocolate over the milk or dark.

Grating the white chocolate bar makes it easier to work with and makes it distribute throughout the mix much easier. Additionally, running it through the food processor is the best way to make a fine powder much like what you would get in a commercial mix. But this is 100 percent better because it is homemade!

I hope you give this a try and I hope you love it. Keep watching for even more gift ideas in the coming days!

As always, Happy Gifting!

Merry Christmas!

Noreen, I sooo want to try some of these drink mixes you have created -- you clever, clever girl!! -- but I don't have a food processer (nor blender). I'm trying to think of how I might get around that . . . . Or maybe I'll just have to get myself one of those contraptions. Hey, I'll be making your biscotti (again) this year as presents for teachers, etc. I LOVE that recipe!

[atticus9799]

@Michigansnowpony Renee: There is really no "need" to use the food processor, I just like to make the finest powder I can. you can easily make these by whisking the ingredients together in a bowl. As for the butterscotch chips, I would just use my pastry blender or simply put them in a ziplock and whack them with the rolling pin. Grate the chocolate bars and you'll be good to go. Nothing wrong with woman power!

What's in the Sonic cup? And, did you buy it during happy hour? ;-)

[atticus9799]

@blairseybell Ha! I try to get stuff like that out of the shot. Oh well. It's not Sonic : ( Its McD's We like to go get "big drinks" cause the large is always $1.00. I always get unsweet tea. But when I go to sonic I love to get the strawberry limeade slushy with extra strawberries! : )

I loved the intro. It looked great.

[atticus9799]

@katzcradul Thanks! I found a great website where I can get music and animated clips for a really good price. I have been wanting to do this for a while. They are usually really expensive, but this place has a large array of pricing and product. Let me know If you would like me to make you an intro. It would be so much fun! Than you could just plug it into WMM at the beginning of your vids and drop in the vid and process. Let me know. Noreen : )

HMMM, I wonder what it would taste like with "cheesecake" flavored pudding mix?

Or maybe add some cherry jello to have cherry cheesecake drink mix?

OR................. ;)

SO YUMMY! I'm going to run out tomorrow to pick up some of that white chocolate and make some just for us! Lol - did you know Kitchen Aid did their 13 quart food processor at the end of your vid? Too funny since you mentioned it.

@KissHope You can hover your mouse over the title of the video to see the full title. I know, it's way annoying. Darn Youtube. But here is the video:  (type youtube url) and paste /watch?v=fTPV7XhI1pY

[KissHope]

Hi Noreen,

Thought I saw mention of a Hot Chocolate with cherry? Since the revamping of YT I can only see a couple words in the title of your recipes and can't find this one. Would you be kind enough to give me the link to it if it does indeed exist. Thanks so much. Having tons of fun watching your videos and look forward to making many of them.
