Thanks for posting this. Is the powdered sugar the same as confectioner’s sugar?

Yes, confectioner’s sugar is the “powdered sugar” that is called out in the recipe. I got this recipe years and years ago from another friend who grew up out in the country, like me, and we always called it “powdered”.
Sorry it took so long to respond. Been working ten hour days and this is the first I’ve opened my e-mail or CITR.
Hope you like it.

This was great! My wife loved it and commented that it was not as sweet as the pre-made packages but still has a rich hot cocoa taste.

So very glad that your wife liked it. I occasionally throw a few miniture marshallows in, as well. I liked this recipe enough to keep it all these years.
