Hot Cocoa Mix

It has been an insanely busy week but being Teacher's Day on Friday and that celebrations were on Thursday, I squeezed some time to make little gifts for a few colleagues.. 

I did up a Hot Cocoa Mix after being inspired by Tasty's video on Facebook. It was pretty simple to put together but it took me 3 days to complete (the hunting of the decoration and the tying etc) cos there was just SOOO much to be done this week. 

It involves 5 simple ingredients and it was a delight to make as much as it was to gift. 

Hot Cocoa Mix Recipe

This recipe yields 12 mini jars + 4 large jars 

(feel free to scale it down)

500g good quality cocoa powder

400g milk powder

450g castor sugar

1 packet Hershey's chocolate chips

1 packet Marshmallows

Method

Weigh the sugar.

Add in milk powder.

Sift in cocoa powder.

Mix well.

Portion into jars, filling it to about 3/4 full.

These were the mini versions.

I tied them with some twine, a pretty paper straw, a wooden spoon and a small note..

Have fun! (:
