Homemade Hot Chocolate!!

Growing up, every winter, my mom would make a huge batch of Hot Chocolate.  It’s one of those things that brings back memories and makes me all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

This year I decided this was going to be my Christmas Present to my friends.  I picked up lots of fun glass jars from Hobby Lobby, painted the front with chalk board paint, then attached a measuring spoon to the side with ribbon.  Not only was it fun, but I’m really excited to give these to my closest friends to share a little of my childhood traditions!

Stay tuned next week for the beginning of my
“12 DIY Day’s of Christmas”

I’m a very lucky girl and have VERY creative friends!  I’ve invited 12 of them to each create something for the season and next week, I’ll begin sharing all of their craftiness with you.  I’ll be sharing projects you can do with your kids, ways to decorate for Christmas, recipes and much more!

    Too cute! I love this idea.

  9. I also add 1 large box of instant chocolate pudding. Adds even more chocolate flavor.

  10. How much does this make? One jar?

  11. Oh, no….quite a bit! I’d say it makes about 6 qts of dry mix.

  12. Oh, Ok. So how many jars did it make, Kelly?

  13. Nevermind, Kelly. Silly me. Didn’t know if you used the same size jars or not. I think I’m gonna add peppermint pieces or Andes mints to mine! ;) Great idea and thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see more ideas.

  14. I just made this- good stuff! It made 12 pints. Hunting for jars I found Walmart had a box of canning jars their Mainstay brand $7 for 12 pint jars.
    Thanks for the inspiration and recipe!
