Ingredients
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 (16-ounce) mason jar with lid
- Holiday ribbon
- Gift tag
Instructions
Step 1:
Using a funnel (or parchment paper shaped into a funnel), carefully layer the cocoa powder, sugar, and chocolate chips into the mason jar. Top with a cinnamon stick for a festive finishing touch.
Step 2:
Secure the lid tightly. Tie a holiday ribbon around the rim of the jar and attach a gift tag.
Notes
- This recipe makes approximately 8 cups of hot cocoa.
- For smaller gifts, you can halve or quarter the recipe and use smaller jars.
- For clean, even layers, pour slowly and gently tap the jar on the counter between layers.
- Store sealed jars in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
- Optional add-ins: mini marshmallows, crushed peppermint, or white chocolate chips for a fun twist.
