Help me. Love Alton and can’t rate because I don’t know the amount of mix to milk/water. What am I missing. And yes probably user error so don’t come after me
We love this recipe. I have added half a cup of grounded up cocoa 60% and above to the recipe.
Absolutely the best! Thanks Alton!! ❤️
Incredibly tasty, even though I had to replace the powdered milk with regular milk and remove the water. Even better with a bit of soy milk.
Yum
I make this all the time! So easy to make and use! I like to sprinkle it on my ice cream!
I’ve made at least 2 batches every winter, for the past several winters. I think it’s great as is, but I just tweak it if I want–by adding cinnamon, instant coffee, or extra milk / half and half. It’s healthier if I don’t add the additional dairy.
They forgot the marshmallows!?!?!?!?
Wait. This recipe totally left out the malted milk which I think was supposed to be the key ingredient. Powdered milk is not the same thing at all.
