This idea has
been all over Pinterest for a couple of years now and I finally tired my hand
at it. Kavita did it last year (or was it the year before?) for her co -workers
and I had pinterest-project-envy (it’s a real thing. Look it up!) at the time. I
was mad I couldn’t do a project like that. Well at last I can. I made these for
Veer’s teachers at school. I am not a big fan of hot cocoa but I know some
people are. I like to drink water or wine or vodka. Everything else is just
extra calories. Hopefully the teachers are fans of hot cocoa.
Here is the recipe
I used for the hot cocoa (yeild 5 jars):
4.5 cups of non
fat dry milk powder
2 ¼ cups of unsweetened
cocoa powder
1 1/8 cups of
sugar (i used granulated)
Chocolate chips
Candy cane
Marshmallows
Combine the
milk powder, cocoa, and sugar. Layer the mixture at the bottom of your jar. Then
layer with candy cane first, then chocolate chips and top off with marshmallows
I decorated
the lid of the mason jar with wrapping paper. I didn’t like the look of just
the metal lid, so traced the lid on Christmas wrapping paper and used that
instead. Made a tag with instructions on one side and a small tree on the other
and viola!
