Hot Cocoa

Hot Cocoa is a popular gift for giving and always a treat to receive at Christmas time. My kids will be giving these treats to their friends for Christmas.  Here are a few ideas to make store bought hot cocoa mix and marshmallows special to give as gifts.

. . . . .

I discovered these Kraft Jet-Puffed Stacker Mallows a few years ago at Target.  These flat marshmallows are perfect to be made into fun shapes using mini cookie cutters.

Mini plastic bags come in many sizes and the large clear bag has a sticky tape closure that seals it like an envelope.  The Swiss Miss cocoa mix is the favorite with our kids (2 1/2 to 3 Tablespoons per bag).  Each gift package contained two servings of hot cocoa, instructions, two candy canes and enough marshmallows to share.

 have fun !
