The minute it starts to rain and get cold I know my kids will come home from school requesting hot cocoa. When my kids request cocoa I usually give it to them as they don't request it often and I am usually having a similar desire for a hot cup of tea or coffee. That said I hate making the instant packets of cocoa. Even the sugar free or fat free ones, which I think taste bad. So I found several recipes for cocoa online and consolidated them to make this:
1 C. Skim Milk
1 Tbls. Cocoa Powder
2 tsp. Splenda
Warm the milk on the stove and once it hits a simmer mix in the cocoa and splenda.
This one was loved by kids and grown ups alike!

You found Splenda here in Isreal? Where?

I usually import the Splenda however I have been seeing it here. Both in Beit Shemesh and Modiin. I am guessing that you can find it at the Cheper Kol in Jerusalem as well.
Cool! Thanks I'll look for it:)

I was feeling cold and really craving something sweet and my fat free hot cocoa ran out from the States...I made this and used 1c 1% milk, 1/3 c water, 1 Tbspn cocoa and 3 splenda packets(I just saw it at Shum Pilpel but for something like NIS 40 per box and that is not the Costco size ;-)). Anyway, I love your blog and I love the hot cocoa. Keep up the healthy lifestyle. It is paying off.
Thanks Caryn as always for your wonderful support! Did you add the water to thin it out a bit? I will try it like that next time. Glad you liked it! I'd like to share with the "public" some of your recipes-would you like to guest blog them?? I am thinking some salads....
