Dropping a whipped cream-filled chocolate cup into hot chocolate makes for an extra-special beverage. I make the chocolate cups ahead, chill them, then fill just before serving. Ingredients:
hot chocolate mix: |
8 cups nonfat dry milk powder |
3-3/4 cups instant chocolate drink mix |
1-1/2 cups powdered nondairy creamer |
1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar |
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 envelope unsweetened orange or raspberry kool-aid mix |
chocolate cups: |
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
1 teaspoon shortening |
whipped cream in a can |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
2. For chocolate cups, in a microwave, melt chips and shortening; stir until smooth. With a small pastry brush or 1/2 teaspoon measure, spread chocolate mixture on the inside of 1-in. foil or paper candy cups.
3. Place on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 45 minutes or until firm. Just before serving, remove foil or paper cups and add whipped cream.
4. To prepare hot chocolate: For each serving, combine 1/3 cup mix and 1 cup boiling water; stir to dissolve. Place one filled chocolate cup in each mug; stir until melted. Yield: 11 cups hot chocolate mix and 16 chocolate cups.
