Whip up your own white hot chocolate mix, it is beyond easy! It just takes a handful of ingredients and maybe ten minutes if you take your time. Then you can make creamy white hot chocolate all winter long. It is the perfect way to warm up on a chilly day. Or pass out jars as gifts for neighbors, friends and teachers at Christmas.
At Christmastime we like to sprinkle in edible gifts for our friends and family. They are fun to make and folks are happy to receive them.
This white hot chocolate mix makes a perfect little present because the recipient can enjoy it easily. Only a mug and hot water are required, no additional ingredients are needed.
Plus, once it has been used there is nothing to dust, no rearranging to find it a permanent home. Just pure enjoyment!
Luckily it only takes 5 simple ingredients to whip up a batch. If you have a big food processor (at least 10 cups), it only takes a few minutes as well.
Packaging and extra special gift giving ideas:
We love to package it up in glass jars for storage and gifting. We even made some ball jars that look like snowmen to make it extra festive.
You can also make a classic
hot chocolate mix
and whip up some
Rudolph jars
for a fun cocoa gift basket. Make festive
snowman marshmallows
or chocolate dipped
rudolph marshmallows
to make it even more festive.
That is the fun thing about hot chocolate, it is so easy to
dress up and make extra special. For a larger gift you could give
all of the fixin's for a hot chocolate bar.
This white hot chocolate pairs well with so many flavor
profiles. It is great on its own, of course. It has a rich white chocolate
flavor.
The traditional marshmallow topping is good. So is
a little candy cane for peppermint undertones.
Feel free to experiment with a fresh grating of nutmeg. Or use
this mix as a powdered coffee creamer. Wouldn't that be amazing? It would be
like an instant white chocolate mocha.
You can even use some of your homemade mix to make
white hot chocolate cookies. See, the possibilities really are endless!
Well I have worked up a thirst just thinking about it. So I hope
you give this yummy mix a try.
Original post from 2015:
I hope you guys are enjoying hot chocolate week as much as I am. Drinking a nice warm mug of hot chocolate is one of my favorite ways to hide from old man winter.
He and I don't get along. We were kind
of friends when I was a kid, but we are no longer chums.
In fact, I would prefer that we weren't even acquaintances.
But alas, I live in the Midwest and as long as that is the case I will
have to deal with him.
Oh well, at least that means hot chocolate
MiMi made a big pot of white hot chocolate for
Christmas last year and it was AMAZING! So, when we got together to make
hot chocolate mixes for Christmas gifts this year, we knew there had to be
some white hot chocolate mix too! This is a warm creamy mug of
yum!
You can dress it up with cinnamon, marshmallows
or last year MiMi put some Andes peppermint chips and fresh whipped cream on
there and it was to die for! I mean really, that is the stuff dreams are
made of right there!
This is another quick and easy recipe to make. Just like the hot chocolate mix, all it takes is a few minutes in the food processor and you are ready to go. The hardest part is deciding which one to enjoy!

I did not realize until today that it was hot chocolate week all week! I love it girl! White chocolate is my absolute favorite so I was so happy to see this! Thank you and I hope you have a terrific and tasty Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be fun to stay on the theme all week! I had so much fun getting everything together for it! Thanks, Andrea!
DeleteOhhh this looks delicious! And what a quick and inexpensive gift to pull together for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I would be very happy with some hot chocolate gifts this winter! I love how creamy and decadent white chocolate is!
DeleteI love hot chocolate mix! For some reason I always crave white hot chocolate around the holidays so this is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love white chocolate for the holidays too. With a few peppermint chips... mmmm!
DeleteHot chocolate sounds so comforting this time of year.
ReplyDeleteMadonna
It is like a sweet warm hug! Mmm!
DeleteThis sounds so good, Carlee! I also checked out the regular hotx cocoa one, too. The Rudolph jar is so cute. My grands would love making those.
ReplyDeleteThank you! We had a lot of fun making the mixes and dressing up the jars. The white hot chocolate gessed dressed tomorrow ;-)
DeleteWhich is your favorite one?
DeleteI really like them both. I probably like the white chocolate one a bit more because it is different.
DeleteThis is how Chloe enjoyed her first taste of the hot chocolate mix we sent back to school with her. She plugged in her Christmas tree, climbed in bed and thoroughly enjoyed her warm hug-I mean hot chocolate. IMG_2844.JPG
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad the picture didn't come through. I'll add it to the post when I get a chance. Even if it shows a treat that hasn't been posted yet! I am glad she is liking hot chocolate week!
DeletePerfect timing! I set up a hot drink bar in my kitchen and I'm looking for new recipes to try out in my slow cooker. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteOooh, yum! What else are you having?
DeleteHi Carlee!
ReplyDeleteYou got me at 'simple to make'. :) I don't think I have ever had white hot chocolate but it sounds delicious and I am definitely in the mood for a cup. Thanks for sharing MiMi's recipe and for linking up with us at Talented Tuesday.
Merry Christmas!

I love white chocolate too and it works so well in hot chocolate! See you at the party!
DeleteThanks for this recipe.Just found some milk bottles with red lids today, and thought they'd be great to fill with a white hot chocolate mix as xmas gifts....can the amount of both sugars be reduced without compromising the recipe?
ReplyDeleteI can't see why not. In fact, I might give that a try myself next time I make a batch. That will be so cute in milk bottles with red lids. How fun!
DeleteHow many servings are there?
ReplyDeleteIt makes about 24 servings, or 6 cups of mix.
DeleteI'm going to pick up some of the ingredients that I don't have on hand. I will make up a batch this afternoon so it will be ready for me this evening when I curl up on the couch. I can hardly wait. �� Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYAY! I hope you enjoyed it!
DeleteIs these measurements by the jar and if yes what size is the jar
ReplyDeleteIs these measurements by the jar and if Yes what size is the jar
ReplyDeleteIt makes about 6 cups, so 3 pint size jars is what we normally use. However you could easily break it up into 6 smaller jelly jars if you are giving it as gifts.
DeleteIt is hard for me to believe but I have not made white hot chocolate. I guess that it is about time! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt is about time for sure! I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteI'm thinking about making a peppermint white hot cocoa mix, think it'll be easier to throw in some soft peppermint puffs into the food processor while everything else is whizzing up, of hard peppermint candies?!
ReplyDeleteThat should work well! Stirring in some crushed candy canes after the food process would be pretty as well. I love peppermint white hot chocolate!
