Christmas Idea #2
Who doesn’t likes a cup of hot chocolate in the winter!?! My girls absolutely love hot chocolate! We drink it a lot during the winter season. It is so delicious specially with mini marshmallows on top. Mmm mmm good! Here is a great Christmas gift idea you can make in a jar and give it to your favorite neighbor or place it in the stocking.
Ingredients YOU will need to make 12 servings of Hot Chocolate:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup powdered milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
HOW TO MAKE HOT CHOCOLATE:
FIRST WAY: You can mix all ingredients and place 1/3 cup of the hot chocolate mixture into a LITTLE jar. To make one serving add 1 cup of hot water or milk. Another way: Get 3 BIGGER jars with lids and layer 1/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/3 cup powdered milk, pinch of salt, little handful of chocolate chips and marshmallows. That will make 3 servings in one jar. Make sure to write a note to mix 1/3 cup of hot chocolate mixture with 1 cup of hot water or milk. Enjoy!
