Ingredients

8 ounces white chocolate broken into pieces
1 1/2 cups strawberry Nesquik
1/2 cup instant non fat dry milk powder
6 ounces hot milk or water
mini marshmallows or whipped cream

Instructions

Put white chocolate pieces in the food processor.
Run the food processor until the chocolate is in smaller pieces (more pea sized).
Add in the milk powder and strawberry Nesquik. Process until there are no big pieces of chocolate left and the mixture is all powder.
In a mug, mix 3 tablespoons of dry mixture into 6 ounces of hot water or milk. Top with marshmallows or whipped cream (or both). Enjoy!

Notes

Water or milk can be used, but milk will yield a creamier hot cocoa.
Make it dairy free by adding coconut milk powder instead of using instant non fat milk powder. You can also use almond, cashew, or coconut milk.
To make extra creamy, you can add some half and half.
Store leftover cocoa mix in an air tight container. It will last about 2-3 months but may be based on the ingredients used.

To Make Strawberry Cocoa Gifts

Just split the dry mixture into two 16 ounce glass canning jars. Top with 1 cup of mini marshmallows for each jar. Screw on the canning lid. Print out a tag with the instructions of how to make the cocoa and add a bow if you like.
