Hot Chocolate Gift Jars - Take the stress out of home management with the Home Management Toolbox! Hot Cocoa In A Jar is a perfect warming gift to make this Christmas. This mason jar gift is easy to make and delicious to drink. Nothing warms you up during the winter months like a nice hot cup of chocolate. Extra chocolate, full of marshmallows and just the right temperature, a cup of hot cocoa is the perfect way to warm you – heart and soul. Friends and family will love receiving this easy hot cocoa in a jar gift idea. It's no secret that I love using mason jars for gifts and serving everything from desserts to drinks. They come in many sizes and are so versatile to use. With the Christmas gift season in full swing, I love giving "gifts in a jar" to everyone on my shopping list. My Cookies In A Jar was such a hit last Christmas that I just had to create something fun, useful and delicious to give again this year. Hot Cocoa Mix In A Jar is the ticket! It's the perfect gift that your friends and family can enjoy all winter long. There is one thing I promise though, this hot chocolate mix won't last long. Now, don't worry about being "craft-challenged" for this project. It's really easy. Start by wrapping a piece of burlap around the jar and secure in place with glue or glue dots. Use a dab of glue or a glue dot to attach the snowflake to the front of the jar. Now you can start adding your hot cocoa to a jar ingredients. I used this handy canning funnel to keep the mess to a minimum - and all the ingredients in the jar and not on my counter. I finished this by printing this cut little instructional label I made. For the fabric on the top of the jar, you need to cut a 5" round circle for each jar. I used the lid as a template and traced two inches larger. I really like peppermint hot chocolate. So I like to attach some candy canes on the jar for both flavor and color. I then used the colored string to tie the instruction tag and candy canes to the jar. A quart jar makes 12 servings. Your gift recipient can easily store in a food storage container and use as needed. When you're ready to enjoy a cup, simply measure 1/3 cup of the mixture into a mug and pour hot water over it. My daughter LOVES hot cocoa, so I always make sure to have some of this homemade mix in my pantry. What are some of the food gift ideas that you like to give (or get) during the holiday season? I would love to hear all about them. I'm always looking for new gift ideas. Leave a comment on the blog or share a photo on Facebook I love making gifts like this to give during the holiday season. I like to accompany it with a small book or movie. Something that gives them as an experience. Very good information. Lucky me I came across your blog by accident (stumbleupon). I have bookmarked it for later! Hello! I love your recipe, just everything about it!! Is there any way you can instruct me how to make these but in pint sized jars instead? Thinking of making about 3 dozen for a baby shower, thanks! SSS Hello everyone – This recipe makes a quart size jar. You can easily divide the recipe into two pint-sized jars for the shower. Have fun! Wonderful article! We will be linking to this great content on our website. Keep up the good writing. This is adorable. I'll make a bunch tomorrow. But is there an editable file for the tags? I only use 16 oz. cans. Thanks! This is the perfect page for anyone who wants to find out about this topic. You understand so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a topic thats been discussed for decades. Hello! Do you have the actual instructions that are on the instruction label for me to print on a tag? Thanks! Yes, here is the link to download the tags. You can also find this link in the needed section of the post. https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5fd04dfd716e9e41a7ff5cf0 Hi – I keep clicking the link and sending my email to get tags but it hasn't come through. Can you email me your tags for the cocoa jars? [email protected] I would add a teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon per jar for more flavor. Also, do you mix chocolate chips and marshmallows into the mix before you go to serve it or would all the chips sink to the bottom and the marshmallows to the top? I think you can keep them separate and sprinkle on top? Can your can serve as the airtight container? The fabric should be about 1.5 inches wider than the lid of the jar. I used the jar lid to roughly trace the fabric. I am thinking of making these and need to figure out how much fabric I would need. So I wonder what size the fabric is cut to. I used the quart size jar and found I liked a 6 inch circle for the top. I bought 1/2 yard of 45 inch wide material and it was more than enough for 12 cans. I could easily have gotten 4 more on the fabric, and I avoided the seams so I didn't have to iron the fabric. Would it be possible to do this without powdered milk, and mix it with warm milk instead of water? I haven't tested it so I'm not sure. I guess it's worth a try if you don't want to use dry milk.

The Magical Slow Cooker » Recipes » Holidays » Hot Cocoa Gift Jars by Sarah Olson on November 27, 2014 | Updated April 7, 2021 19 comments These sweet jars go in the slow cooker together with half a liter of milk for a perfect treat. I created these adorable hot cocoa gift jars for Christmas gifts. Most people make hot chocolate during the holiday season and I have any number of people to buy gifts for. I made a few extra for our family, so after shopping or on Christmas Eve I can easily make a really good homemade hot cocoa. I use Kerr brand canning jars with wide necks that I sanitize in the dishwasher. The only layer that requires some effort is the peppermint layer. For the peppermint layer, I put starlight candies in a large ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. To make the prepared cans of cocoa mix into hot cocoa, add the entire can of prepared cocoa mix and 1/2 quart whole milk to a 5-quart or larger pot and cook on HIGH for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally. Or for the stove, cook on medium heat until melted and heated through.
