Ok so I have a ton of hot chocolate in my house. Does any know if the packets of swiss miss are gluten free? Also swiss miss with marshmallows? I also have to purchase nestle for a project and have no idea if that is gluten free as well. That would also contain the mini marshmallows.

If you have the box at home, what is on the ingredients list? There most likely is a 1(800 #) on the box to inquire about the gluten free status. Marshmallows are generally gluten free.

Hi and welcome to the board

Swiss Miss is a Con Agra company, and they will list any gluten on the label. Nestle will, also. If you have other brands you are wondering about, you could list those and hopefully someone will know--or you can always call the company and ask them.

Never assume that all foods in a catagory (such as hot cocoas) are all gluten-free--each one has to be checked.

It's a little daunting at first, but I promise it will get much easier with a some time.

I know you guys are talking about the powdered hot chocolate but DON'T Get Dunkin Donuts hot chocolate... I was fine when I drank it but directly afterwards I got really ill for a full day. Not worth it!!!

The Abuelita Mexican hot chocolate tablets, imported by Nestlé are gluten-free and delicious!

Does anyone know if Higgins & Burke (made by Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee Inc.) "gourmet" WHITE hot chocolate is gluten-free? I can't find any information on their website or anywhere online using a google search. There is nothing in the ingredients obviously stating wheat or other gluten products, however there are natural & artificial flavours and a lot of chemically-sounding names that I can't decipher.

I emailed the company, but I usually get a much faster response on this forum I even tried calling, but just got an answering service! It's very cold here in Winnipeg and I have exams to study for! BRRRR

Thanks,
Jillian

Make your own. It is Gluten Free and I've been using this recipe for as long as I can remember. Much better than those store bought versions...

Hot Cocoa

Ingredients:
12 oz. can pet milk
12 oz. water
4-5 oz. sugar
1 heaping tablespoon Hershey’s cocoa

Directions:
Mix water and pet milk and heat
slowly to your liking (do not boil).
In separate bowl, mix sugar and
cocoa until well blended (mix should not
be lumpy). Add 2 tablespoons of water
and stir until it forms a soupy mix.
When milk is hot enough, slowly stir
sugar and cocoa mixture into milk mixture
on a low fire. Stir until well dissolved.
Serve warm.



Enjoy!

I drink a cup of Swiss Miss with marshmellows every day, there isn't any gluten listed, it's safe to drink.

Pet milk?

An evaporated milk. I find that any milk works fine (with out the added water)--whole, skim, almond, rice, etc. I'm going to try to make my own this winter using stevia for the sweetener.
