Tempt My Tummy Tuesday! Hot Chocolate Mix & pretzel treats!



I make this every year and jar it for gifts.. it is so yummy! The original recipe calls for regular non dairy creamer, but I use the flavored ones.. irish creme is good!

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
11 cups dry milk powder
1 (8 ounce) container powdered non-dairy creamer
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 (16 ounce) container instant chocolate drink mix(nesquik)
DIRECTIONS
Sift together the powdered milk, non-dairy creamer, powdered sugar and instant chocolate drink mix. Store in air tight containers or glass jars for gift giving.
To use: Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of mix to 1 cup of water.

EDIT: I JUST REALIZED THE SAME RECIPE WAS LISTED AT BLESSED WITH GRACE, SO HERE'S ANOTHER!

We just call these pretzel treats at our house...
you will need a bag of christmas m&ms, a bag of hershey kisses, and a bag of mini pretzels.

Heat the oven to 250. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. place pretzels on baking sheet (do about a dozen at a time.. you'll see why). Unwrap the kisses and place on top of each pretzel. Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes. The kisses hold their shape. if you bake too long, they dry out. As soon as the pretzels come out, place an m&m on top of the kiss and press a little. it makes a nice little pillow of chocolate with an m&m in the middle. Let them cool before removing from pan. These are very sturdy little chocolate treats and can be easily bagged for gifts.
