Hot Cinnamon Milk Mix

Just made this tonight and it got rave reviews. Even from my husband who is a chocoholic. After a quick taste, he chose this instead of a fancy holiday hot chocolate mix we splurged on.




Hot Cinnamon Milk Mix (to fill a quart jar)
2 cups powdered milk
1 cup powdered French Vanilla creamer (found by coffee aisle, like coffemate with vanilla)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon


Simply mix together and fill your jar! To enjoy, mix 1/3 cup of mix with hot water. If you want it a little creamier, you can mix 1/3 cup of the mix with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk.


Recipe to fill a pint jar
1 cup powdered milk
1/2 cup powdered French Vanilla Creamer
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

This would be a fun neighbor gift. Cut a fabric circle and tie it on the jar. Put a tag with directions on it and you are good to go.

My son, who is home from college, said I could mix up a bag for him to take back. Isn't that thoughtful of him.

Spicy Pretzels


Spicy Pretzels

1 Cup veg. oil
1 pk dry ranch dressing
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 20 oz sized bag round pretzels

Mix all ingredients except pretzels.
Place pretzels in large roasting pan.
Pour mixture over pretzels and stir (very well till coated)
bake uncovered at 200 degrees for 1 hour stirring every 20 minutes.
Store in air tight container.

This would be good as a treat for your neighbors in a cute bag with a tie and tag. Or something yummy as you snack your way through the holidays.
