We love to deliver a little something to our neighbors at Christmas time {my kids often deliver it as part of our 24 Days of Service}. This year we’re giving jars of layered hot cocoa mix.
This is such a simple gift to make and it’s easy to make in bulk. The kids can even help!
You can use storebought or homemade cocoa mix. Pour it in until it fills 1/2 to 2/3 of the jar.
Sprinkle with a layer of chocolate chips {we used a variety of different kinds}.
And fill the rest of the jar with marshmallows. We used some fun varieties this year: french vanilla marshmallows shaped like snowmen, gingerbread marshmallows shaped like little men, and small peppermint marshmallows.
We covered the tops with cupcake wrappers, screwed the lids on, wrapped a little yarn around them, and added our label.

I love this idea. Cool marshmallows! I am sure it will be another decade before we get those here. They are so cute.
I need a quick hostess gift for today. Nothing like leaving things to the last minute!
