The Hot Pig Dance

Now it been some time since I be given' you 
one of my Hillbilly Handi hints! 
So, here be a good one:

Know don't be askin me for 
tips 1-36. 
Cousin Billy Bob forgot what they be.

It is cold round here tonight,
so I think I'm a gonna go fix
me one of them there cups of hot cocoa.

I am one of these people that just
can't stand it when I gets me a cup o chocolate
that be hotter than a hog
wearin a pair o' them daisy dukes

while doin a dance on one o' them there
roasting sticks!


Now thet be too hot!
So, you uns know what I do?
Why I jest freeze my mini marshmallows.
Then I fill my cup with em and pour my cocoa
right over em.
Them little frozen marshmallows just melt up 
and cool down thet cocoa so it be edible!

We specially be likin to make our very own cocoa mix.
Here be granny's recipe a bit cleaned up fer ya.
She had things like tonic, and all kinds of stuff
that I know you classy folks wouldn't want.

HOT COCOA
1 1/2 cup cocoa powder
3 cup powdered sugar (I substitute Splenda)
5 cup powdered milk
1 cup powdered creamer (My favorite is French Vanilla Flavored)

Combine all ingredients. 
1/3 cup mix to 3/4 cup water

We also like to add in 2 tsp cinn or a bit of mint.

I gotta admit that your recipe is far more tempting than the one I posted on my blog today. Question: Do you use 3 cups of Splenda?
