Hot Cocoa and Winter. It’s a perfect match. Instead of grabbing a box of the pre-made stuff in your supermarket, try making your own. Here’s a few different recipes to get you started!
1 3/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Combine nonfat dry milk powder, cocoa, light brown sugar and granulated sugar in medium-size bowl. Spoon dry mix into container with tight-fitting lid. Cover and store at room temperature up to 3 mos. To make it: Add 8 oz. freshly boiled water to 1/2 cup mix in heatproof mug. Stir until completely dissolved.
Diabetic Friendly Hot Cocoa:
1 tablespoon unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder (like Hershey’s)
1 tablespoon plus 2-teaspoons Splenda
2 tablespoons hot water
1 cup 1% milk
Place the cocoa powder and Splenda into a microwaveable mug. Add the hot water and stir until smooth. Pour in the milk and stir again. Microwave on high for 1-1/2 minutes or until hot. Do not boil.
Recipe makes one serving.
Bulk Hot Cocoa:
10 cups of powdered milk
7 cups of sugar
2 cups of cocoa
Mix it up. Add as much as you want to a cup of hot water.
Bulk Hot Chocolate
(this is good for gifts in a jar)
10 cups powdered milk
1 pound powdered sugar
1 3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
6 oz jar (about 1 3/4 cups) powdered nondairy creamer
Mix altogether and sift to get out any lumps. Store in airtight container. Mix 1/3 cup mixture per cup (or to taste) and add boiling water. Try using different flavors of non-dairy creamer.

Do you have a child that loves to dance? Consider getting them Hasbro’s U-Dance for Christmas.
Hasbro’s U-Dance turns your child’s feet into its very own game controller with its innovative motion-sensing system. It’s simple: your child just plugs the console into the TV and attaches the motion control to their feet. The system works as a result of motion-sensing technology that doesn’t require your child to stay within the confines of a dance mat or board.
Your child can choose from twelve dance songs to move their feet to. Your child can follow the steps as they appear on the screen. As your child dances, virtual footprints will appear on the screen that match the steps your child is making in their very own living room.
With all that moving, your child is definitely getting a great workout with Hasbro’s U-Dance. But, if they need a break from dancing, they can instead hop on a virtual treadmill and get a workout that way. Hasbro’s U-Dance also has a ‘lounge’ area where your child can visit to relax with some fun stepping games that’ll keep them engaged and moving their feet.
The best part? It’s great for all ages. Younger children can use the simple game along with older teenagers, and yes, even adults! It’s a great way for families to get together and dance away the night while getting a great workout at the same time.
So, if you have a child that loves to dance (or, secretly, you just love to dance,) check out Hasbro’s U-Dance for Christmas and learn new dance moves in the comfort of your home. And, as a bonus, you’ll also help keep your children physically fit without them even realizing it!
