Who here makes the kind like we used to drink made from Hershey's powdered?
I've bought the really expensive stuff (ordered it on line) and it still has too much sugar.
When I went to Weight Watchers I remember walking in the door and the leader said to each of us, "Sugar or Salt"? Most are addicted either to sugar or salt. I'm a salt lover but can't stand much sugar. Put a bag of potato chips in front of me and look out, but I'll turn down anything sweet.
Can anyone tell me how to make the kind of hot chocolate with just Hershey's cocoa mix? Should I just buy it?

@cherry I don't think I could get over the condensed milk. Isn't that very sweet? I don't know, I'll look at the label.
Thanks for taking the time to post it. I'll write down the recipe. Thanks again.

If you buy the Hershey's cocoa powder, the recipe for hot chocolate is on the back of it.
There is also a recipe for a single serving.
It's so easy to make.

Remembering way, way back: My mom always had a teeny-tiny can of milk on the table for their coffee. Anyone recall the brands? I can visualize either Pet or Eagle(?) or something very vague. Maybe Carnation?

I remember Hershey's made a tin with the sweet powder (yum) and one with the unsweetened powder. Big difference if you were taking a scoop for a sweet treat!
I don't know which was used, but I couldn't stand that 'skin' that would form on top sometimes. Anyone remember that?

I'm trying to turn over a new leaf...I'm going to only buy things I KNOW I'll use. Starting with hot chocolate. Ha!
From what you have posted about your buying habits, @Annabellethecat66, QVC’s profits will take a tumble🙂

My brother and I loved hot milk with Ovaltine added to it. We used Nestle's Nesquik but my mother used unsweetened Hershey's cocoa for the real deal.
Condensed milk and sweetened condensed milk are not the same thing.

It's Pet and Carnation. I know because I still use it in my morning coffee. But the cans aren't little anymore, at least not the ones I buy.
ETA Eagle is a brand name for the condensed milk that another poster mentioned.

Nothing’s wrong with salt.
Nothing’s wrong with sugar.
Anyone will tell you the additive ‘holy trinity’ of food addiction
is Salt-OIL-Sugar, many using the “SOS” acronym as a meaning
for urgent things to watch for in food addictions.
The ultimate culprit is Oil (fat).
Salt&Oil, Sugar&Oil.
With salt & sugar, it’s the company it keeps w/ leads them astray.
Mix stuff with oil/fat....that’s when trouble begins.
