Best Price on Bulk Hot Chocolate

What is the best price you've seen on a larger container of hot chocolate? Where?

I'm so cheap I'd be hitting up the bulk barn for cocoa powder and powdered milk and playing til I got the right mixture.

Ick! That sounds gross and I know I wouldn't have the patience for it. Thanks for your idea though! =)

My mother in law has a wonderful recipe for hot cocoa that includes sugar, cocoa, and powdered milk (as the previous poster mentioned) It's amazing! However if you don't like the thought of powdered milk you can use the recipe below.... we have and really enjoyed it.

We use Splenda in ours when we make it, and to be really icky I also add chocolate protein powder. Making it more like hot chocolate helps me get in my protein.
