Nee Help With Two Recipes

[cbear6301]

I was wondering if those further along on this journey could help me.

I love french toast and tried to use Kinnickinnick brown bread but it didn't work. Is there a bread that might work better?

My best friend had recipe for homemade hot chocolate that I love but it uses Nesquick, since it needs to be powder, does anyone know of any substitutions?

Thank you!

I'm confused; I would think "Nesquick" and "Homemade Hot Chocolate" would be mutually exclusive. When I think of homemade hot chocolate, I think of maybe baking chocolate squares and sugar and vanilla and milk... What is it about your friend's recipe that is homemade, and what is it that you like about it? Maybe post the whole recipe here and we can help figure out something similar.

For a gluten-free instant hot chocolate, my favorite is Stephen's Gourmet. Maybe that would sub straight across for Nesquick in the recipe. I can find it in most retail stores, and it's also available on Amazon.

We use Ener-G Foods Light Tapioca Bread for french toast. It actually turns out really well.

I use Open Original Shared Link Sponge Bread/Cake for french toast. It comes out just like my old gluteny french toast

For the hot chocolate use real milk, real cocoa and sugar or sugar substitute. It is delicious. Hershey's cocoa is gluten-free.

We use the Ener-G Light Tapioca Loaf too. Let it soak up the egg mixture good. I make and freeze a batch. We also use that bread for breadcrumbs for breading things. Process in the food processor and freeze in a ziplock. No need to dry them.

Easy hot cocoa in the microwave:

Put 2 T of sugar and 2 t of cocoa (more or less to taste, I think this is too sweet) in a mug and add about a tablespoon of water. Stir, microwave 10-15 seconds, then stir until the cocoa, sugar, and water form a smooth syrup, heating a little more if necessary. Add milk to fill the cup and microwave until hot enough to drink. I think a dash of salt really makes this.

I make hot chocolate on the stove with milk, cocoa powder, vanilla, and real maple syrup. Mmmm......
