I'll definitely try this one... plus cost-wise, it's a good deal. I did try a cream soup mix a while ago. It wasn't a good outcome but I didn't throw it away thinking I might someday try it again. I've been using a similar hot cocoa recipe since I was a kid. No mix on the grocery store shelves beats it. I also make my own taco seasoning mix since I don't like the fact that so much of the store-bought mixes have MSG in them. MSG and me don't get along too well, as I'm sure it is with a lot of people out there. An added bonus is that the seasoning tastes good on baked or crockpot chicken or chops too.

When you say cut in the shortening, what does that mean? Are you simply adding it and mixing it? Or is there something special you are doing?

It would be great to have some of these on hand, instead of relying on a store bought mix. Not to mention, I think it would be less expensive in the long run. I love these master mixes.

Sounds good. This is something I feel the need to try. I do cook a lot of things from scratch, but I have never had any thing like the master baking mix that you are speaking of. Sounds good.
