Hot Chocolate Mix
2 lb. Nestle Quick 8 qt. Powered Milk - Carnation 16 oz. Coffee Mate - Creamola 3/4 cup powdered sugar Add 1/4 cup mixture to cup of water Marshmallows Optional [I like to use the miniature marshmallows] This is great to make a big batch for home to enjoy through the winter or when you have family gatherings. All you would need is a canister of mix and a coffee urn filled with hot water ... a big platter of cookies and a room full of teens.

Rich Vanilla Coffee Mix
1/3 cup instant coffee 1 cup instant dry milk powder 1/2 cup powdered coffee creamer 1/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup store-bought instant vanilla pudding mix.
Measure all of the ingredients into a clean, dry bowl. Use a fork to combine everything evenly. If you are ambitious, you can powder everything in a blender. You do get really impressive results from it, and it is easier to do than one would expect. Transfer the mixture to a resealable container, or a pretty jar. This makes a good gift, especially in the winter time.
To Prepare: Place 1/4 cup of dry Rich Vanilla Cafe mix into a coffee cup. Add hot water to fill up the cup (about 3/4 cup hot water). Stir and serve.
