But it’s turning into a nightmare.
I’m searching the entire world for something I fricking know exists but can’t find anywhere and it’s driving me crazy. Well… actually, I think cazy-er would be more correct. Anywaste, I need to find powdered hot chocolate, but not just any hot chocolate. No, that would be too fricking easy, wouldn’t it? What I need is powdered WHITE hot chocolate.
What do you mean, ‘Why?’
Obviously because I want the hot chocolate to look like snow because I got this really cool idea for some gift thingies where I have a little glass bowl and the hot chocolate would be a snowy landscape with cinnamon trees all around and I’d have little marshmallow snowmen having a snowball fight with tiny marshmallow dogs running around leaving chocolate chip poop and one of the snowmen could be writing his name in the snow with lemon-juice pee and…
…
WTF are you looking at?
…
Oh.
Ahem. Well then, never you mind why I need it, I just do. OK?
I remember having powdered Swiss Miss white hot chocolate as a kid, but I can’t find any mention of it on the ConAgra Foods website, so I can only assume that it no longer exists. The closest that I’ve come so far is this product from Ghirardelli, but unfortunately it’s a little too expensive for the purpose I want to use it for. If anyone can find it, or something like it, for less than $3 per 16oz. I’d be so happy I might even grab my pom-poms, jump up and down in my underwear and do a cheer for them.
On second thought, maybe I’ll just buy them a Mighty Messenger Bag instead.

I might have some upstairs in the many multipacks I have..
Mark:
Excellent suggestions there, but they are still too expensive for the idea I have. What I really want, and I should have made this clearer in my post, is for the average cost of the powder to be around $.10 an ounce. That’s TEN CENTS an ounce. So, 8 ounces, which is the amount I want to use per gift, should cost me less than a dollar.
I’ve found regular hot chocolate that meets my needs, but no WHITE hot chocolate.
Thanks anyway, dude.
Mr. Hentai:
I want nothing, repeat; NOTHING, that’s more than six months old, slighlty radioactive or that might have been coughed up by a sick cat.
I found this: Mont Blanc Chocolates.
But it too doesn’t meet your INSANE standards. Why not make your own? There are tons of recipes for it all over the web.
Use powdered sugar, dork.
White hot chocolate sounds yummy. So I googled it. Sounds like a great Christmas gift idea to make your own.
Its like a mission for me now:

Or this one but substitute vanilla powder instead of hersheys instant cocoa:

After this, you’re on your own. :)
I might have some lying around too, but I fear it may have maggots in it… and it will be harder to tell!
Alllll-righty, then. I guess what I was looking for just isn’t available. Oh well, regular hot chocolate it is.
Thanks to everyone for trying to help a brother out.

Yay for white chocolate! Yum =)
It sounds good, but it’s made by them crazy Brits…
Why not ask Conagrafoods.com directly if you want it? They even have a 1800 number too in case you like to wait on hold for that long.
If that doesnt work let me know.
They do sell the Ghirardelli stuff in packets, ya know… so you don’t hafta buy a big tin.
Try Caribou Coffee. They have branches in Atlanta.
Dude: a little late in the thread, but while I was picking up my coffee this morning I noticed your manna from heaven on the shelves of the Second Cup (Canadian coffee dynasty, think Starbucks with a maple leaf).
It’s not super-cheap, but it is Canadian money.
Second Cup white hot chocolate (and it is VERY tasty stuff):
335g for $5.95CAN
Online conversion says that that’s…
12 ounces for approx $4.50 us. Still more than ten cents an ounce, but hey. And you have a Canadian who can ship it to you, too.
Not only is the stuff good for the project you have going, but it’s great for someone allergic to chocolate (the brown kind). I got a packet in gift mug set – one packet of reg cocoa, and one white. On the back of the mug box, it says Great American Opportunities, Inc. with a phone number (1-800-251-1542). I haven’t called it because I thought I’d check your website first for answers.
I enjoyed reading your stuff. Cool site. , soldier can fetch soldier
OMG!! I’ve been searching for swiss miss hot white chocolate for several years also. The last place that I was able to find it was at a grocery store in Gualala, CA. Havent made the long trek back so have no idea if they still carry it…..or even if its still available–cant find it on the web anywhere AAARGH!!
