Last minute gift idea...layered hot cocoa

Emma gave these layered homemade hot cocoa mixes to her girlfriends as Christmas gifts.

They turned out very cute and were simple to put together. They'd make great gifts to include with a plate of Christmas cookies or chocolate covered pretzels.


RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup cocoa mix
2 (6- by 12-inch) cone-shaped cellophane bags (I picked up my bags at Hobby Lobby)
Scotch tape
Ribbon & gift tags
1/4 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup mini marshmallows or white chocolate chips
Crushed candy cane chunks


1. Pour cocoa mix into one of the bags. Trim the bag so that there is roughly two inches, fold and tape.


2. Place the cocoa-filled bag into the second bag and flatten its top so the end doesn’t stick up. This will prevent the cocoa from mixing with the other layers.


3. Layer the chocolate chips and/or marshmallows, then top with crushed peppermint candy canes. Secure the bag with a holiday ribbon and tag.

Joyful holiday spirits to you ALL!
