Notes

Recipe Tips:

  • For gift giving, this recipe makes three pint-size jars of cocoa mix. Each pint size jar contains six-seven servings of mix. There are multiple ways to gift this mix. I usually have extra jars around, so I often use them to give this mix as a gift.
  • There are lots of fun ways to decorate the jars from fancy to simple. I usually take the simple route with just a bow and the gift tag tied on. I've also put the cocoa mix in a decorative bag and placed it in a mug with some candy canes or cocoa stirrers.
  • My daughter made the cute gift tags to go with the mix that I am giving out this year. Print them out on card stock and tie it on the jar with ribbon or twine. Be sure to also grab the Free Printable Gift Tags.
