Another idea is to make a Hot Chocolate Gift Set DIY!

Supplies needed:
- Large Plastic Clear Ornament
- 1 and ½ packets of Hot Chocolate (I use this Easy Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix.)
- Mini Marshmallows
- Red and Green M&M’s
- Gift Tag
- Bow
- Permanent Marker
- Funnel
How to make Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix Recipe gift:
- Start by removing the top of you ornament and placing the funnel in the top.
- Fill the ornament ⅓ of the way full with hot chocolate powder.
- Remove the funnel and place mini marshmallows into the top of the ornament, filling it another ⅓ of the way.
- Next do the same with your green and red M&M’s until the ornament is filled.
- Take your gift tag and write a sweet message with your permanent marker. I chose ” baby it’s cold outside.”
- Place your top back on the ornament and tie your bow around it.
- Secure your gift tag to the ornament.
- You can hang these on your tree until it is time to pass them out. Decorations you can EAT!
Enjoy! All they need to do is add hot water to enjoy this hot cocoa mix.
I also like to add chocolate chips but that is totally optional! You really don’t “need” them since you have the M&M’s but it does add a little something extra.
Another option is to make Hot Chocolate Mason jar favors.
This is a fun option if you would rather use jars instead of the ornaments. Mason jars are really cute.
You can get a case of mason jars very reasonably priced on Amazon. This is a great idea if you would like to use more hot chocolate mix as the jars can hold much more.
Whatever you decide to use, I am sure it will be well received and a huge hit. Let us know what you decide to make!
We actually make Layered hot chocolate mix in a jar and it is always a hit!
Just get the size of jar you prefer and layer just like you would in the ornaments. It is so easy and looks really festive.
I use this Easy Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix. You can purchase if you prefer but it is so easy to make your own and tastes so rich and creamy.
