This is a little treat I have had so much fun making this season(I actually made all the cocoa treats this weekend:). Anyway, I got the idea from Pinterest and added my own little flare. I gave them to some of my favorite peeps.
The jars are quart size and smooth. I added a personalized sticker, fabric for the lid and a ribbon. Voila!
Peppermint Stick Cocoa Recipe
1 cup of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of unsweetened powdered cocoa
1 cup of powdered milk
1/2 a cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup of chunky/crushed peppermint
1/2 cup of mini marsh mellows OR peppermint marsh mellows OR both
* stack ingredients in this order and pack with marsh mellows
* makes 12 servings (put all ingredients in a gallon size bag and mix all very well)
*mix in 1/3 of cocoa mix in 1 cup of boiling hot water
MMM Christmas Goodness!
Peppermint Stick Cocoa Reindeer
* half the recipe above and this sweet reindeer makes 6 servings
What you need: cone shaped cellophane baggies, rubber bands, googly eyes, red mini pom poms, ribbon, brown pipe cleaners, hot glue gun
I made these in lieu of treat bags for Brayden’s Christmas Party at school this Friday. I figured what kid doesn’t love hot cocoa. Also there aren’t any allergies in the class so it is perfect. What I did change about this recipe is the candy cane is attached and not crushed in the recipe. This gives them an option as I know some little ones are picky with their cocoa, or any food item for that matter. I also made some without the peppermint mini marsh mellows for those who prefer a traditional taste. Okay, so some tips to remember: Use the marsh mellows to pack ingredients * use a rubber band under the ribbon to secure closure well *
Ridiculously CUTE and YUMMY Reindeer
HaVe a MeRRy ChRistMas TiMe!
