anybody know any good camp recipe's, not using rat packs, but real choc maybe with milk powder...

If you go into the Hotel Chocolat shops (very posh nonsense chocolate) they do this tear drop hot chocolate. you melt the tears in a bit of cream, then top up with milk...its pretty incredible. SOmething you should try at least once

Not tried this but your question got me thinking

Pre mix sugar, cocoa and a good quality dried milk (the German Lidl milk is super) and store in a zip lock bag.

At camp, mix into a paste with water, add more water and bring to a low boil?

You can do a cocoa powder and instant custard mix in the same way, I've tried this and it works well, wonderful poured over a slab of fruit cake.

Twinings Swiss Chocolate drink. into hot milk, mini marshmellows topped with whipped cream and a liberal sprinkling of the twinings or shavings from a choccy bar.

thats how its served in the Lovatt household.

personally i like the green and blacks straight up its lovely and bitter.

The ten man rat packs used tins of Quaker's Oats the other year.

I haven't seen the pinhead or rolled oats in rat packs for ages.

I miss the tinned Goulash more than anything though.

3 TBSP real Dutch cocoa powder, 3 TBSP whole milk powder, 3 TBSP brown sugar.

FAR better than any commercial “hot chocolate powder”. Can’t drink that stuff.
