Hot Chocolate Mix--Cute Gift Idea

Every year about this time, Peanut Head and I mix up some of this hot chocolate mix for all the cold wintry nights ahead.

My sister-in-law, Marcia, originally found this recipe in Sunset magazine and it has become a favorite of ours.

One thing that I love about this recipe, is that it fits perfectly into a quart size canning jar and it makes a cute and practical gift.

I jazzed up the lid a bit with some scrapbook paper, snowflakes, of course.

And then I added a snowflake sticker.

And finally a gift tag, which I digitally scrapbooked and then had print off as a 4x6 print to give me two tags.

I then adhered it to cardstock to make it a little sturdier.

Then cut it out, punched a hole through it, and tied it on with a pretty ribbon.

And Ta DA! Gift ready.

Here's a recipe card for you.



And you can't forget the tag.

I think these would make great teacher gifts. Unless of course you live in Texas or someplace with an equivalent climate, where it's still blinking hot this time of year.
