Skim milk? bleh. Full fat organic thank you. No worries, those calories will fall away while shoveling snow and hauling in firewood today. :-)
Replace 1/4 of milk with heavy whipping cream for a super creamy taste.
I like to add about 1/2 tsp of espresso powder to the mix. And definitely whole milk, forget that skim nonsense.
Has anyone tried evaporated milk? Thinking of giving as a gift and making homemade marshmallows recipe.
I've been telling people there's a new Swiss Miss in town! I've been whipping this up regularly the last month or so. Love it! I cut the recipe in half and divide it into two jars and store in the fridge. I just heat it up in the microwave 30 seconds at a time until it's steaming and usually add a glug of half and half. FYI: I just noticed the recipe is exactly the one on the Hersheys Cocoa container minus the dash of salt.
I agree it is overly sweet and that you want whole milk. I will cut the sugar in half next time.
