Can I skip the Milo/ Nesquick? Basically homemade Nesquick is cocoa powder+ sugar+ salt. Does it make any difference if I completely skip? Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Bea says
Hi Mary! It does make a difference if you skip it completely. You can try adding more cocoa powder and sugar to help with the flavour and texture though. Hope it helps, thanks!
