Author's Notes

Each jar makes 6 cups of hot peppermint cocoa.

Personalize your hot cocoa gift jar with handwritten serving instructions: How to Make Hot Cocoa: when you are craving a cup of hot cocoa, open the jar and stir the ingredients together. Stir 1/3 cup of the dry mix with 1 cup of hot water or milk. Top with marshmallows if you'd like and enjoy!
