I live in Minnesota, the frozen tundra. When it's 6 degrees I want hot chocolate but after reading the ingredients on the Swiss Miss I knew it wasn't an option for my family.
Here are the ingredients:
sugar, corn syrup, modified whey, cocoa (processed with alkali), hydrogenated coconut oil, marshmallows (sugar, corn syrup, modified corn starch, gelatin, artificial flavor), nonfat milk, calcium carbonate, less than 2% of: salt, dipotassium phosphate, mono - and diglycerides, artificial flavor, carrageenan.
OK, here's my hot chocolate drink:
1 cup milk (raw if you can find it, at least non-homogenized)
1 tablespoon Carob powder
1 tablespoon raw honey
1/2 teaspoon organic pure real vanilla extract.
Mix all ingredients, heat until hot, DO NOT BOIL.
Drink up and enjoy. It is very good and good for you.
Carob powder has no caffeine, no chocolate, no added sugar, it's naturally sweet.
