If you were unable to join friends of High Plains Public Radio for Amarillo’s Parade of Lights this month, you can enjoy a bit of the fun by making Rhonda’s secret hot chocolate mix.
HPPR board members, volunteers and staff enjoyed a studio open house against the background of music provided by Amy and Greg, then served hot chocolate during Center City’s annual parade.
Texas Underwriting Representative, Rhonda Dittfurth arranged for donations allowing HPPR to distribute hot chocolate to more than 300 parade goers.
The “ooos” and “ahs!” were accompanied by many compliments regarding the hot chocolate, so we thought you’d enjoy the recipe. Happy holidays from HPPR!
With a bit of persuasion, Rhonda Dittfurth gave up her secret recipe.
Rhonda’s Hot Chocolate Mix
2lbs Nestle Quik
11 oz Coffee Mate
1 Box (8qt) powdered milk
2lbs powdered sugar
1 cup cocoa
Mix it all together. The best way to mix is in the jumbo zip-bags suitable for storing clothing! Just put the ingredients inside, seal the bag and work it around until the contents are thoroughly mixed. Store in an air-tight container.
Use 1/3 mix to 2/3 hot water.
