Homemade hot chocolate is the way to be, especially when there is malted milk powder involved! Whip up this easy malted hot chocolate mix to warm up on the next chilly evening by the fire.

Now that I have officially had 4 Thanksgiving dinners, I’m finally ready to dive head first into holiday baking – just in time for me to pack up my entire kitchen and move.

Yes, the time has finally come and this coming weekend we will be moving into the new place! Hopefully we can finish painting the interior of the house this week before moving all the furniture in and then it should be smooth sailing from there.

Moving to a new place in-town is so much easier, especially since there is overlap in the leases so many things don’t even have to be packed. I’ve just been loading up my car and dropping things off most days since it’s not too far off my normal route to and from work. But this weekend a moving truck will be required for the bigger stuff.

But I digress, back to the holiday baking train of thought.

Every year I make a batch of homemade hot chocolate mix and change up the flavor ever so slightly. Since I recently made peppermint marshmallows, it seemed like the opportune time to go ahead with this tradition of mine.

This year I added some malted milk powder to my regular hot chocolate mix recipe. That extra hint of richness made for one killer cup of cocoa and was especially welcomed after a long, cold day. Bag it up with some homemade marshmallows and place inside of a festive mug for a cute gift!

Thanks Kayle! We actually move tomorrow but I dig the positive thinking that it will go well. Mostly because I still have so much left to pack! Thankfully, as long as we get all the big stuff moved with the truck tomorrow, we can handle smaller boxes of what is left to pack later.

I hope your move goes well this weekend. And that you have plenty of hot chocolate to help you relax after all the hard work. I’m thinking that I need to make some mix (probably the regular one, not this one) to get me through the next few weeks… Hot cocoa is the best!

Thanks Susan! Definitely lots of work! Hot cocoa at the end of the day will be most necessary.
