There are some things that are essential to all my camping adventures and hot chocolate tops that list.\u00a0 I feared, once diagnosed with a lactose intolerance, I would have to give up this camping essential.\u00a0 But for joy, for joy, there is something about cocoa that allows my body digest milk.\u00a0 Means hot chocolate remains a favorite campfire beverage.<\/p>\n

This is one of my favorite recipes for my evening treat.\u00a0 I could replace the milk with powdered milk and then only need to add water but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s the same.\u00a0 No, I\u2019ve kept recipe just as I found it at Frugal Family Fun Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Peppermint Cocoa Mix<\/b>
\nIn a one quart jar, put:
\n1 1\/2 cups powdered sugar
\n1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
\n6 candy canes, broken into pieces and ground to a fine powder
\nNow, secure lid and shake to mix thoroughly.<\/p>\n

Heat one cup of milk to steaming (be careful not to boil or you\u2019ll have that yucky skin) and add two heaping tablespoons of Peppermint Cocoa mix.\u00a0 Stir well and serve with a whole peppermint candy cane for stirring or a big marshmallow and a couple of graham crackers.\u00a0 Ah, life is good.<\/p>\n

Try dipping fresh fruit into the Peppermint Cocoa mix for a quick treat.<\/p>\n
