Ingredients:

Directions:
- Mix Cocoa and Powdered Sugar together.
- Add Cinnamon.
- Mix to combine.
Add-Ins/Mix-Ins:
- Add Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- Add Mini Marshmallows
These can be mixed in with the cocoa mixture or assembled in layers.
To assemble: Place 1/2 cup cocoa mixture in the jar. Add 2 Tablespoons Semi Sweet Chocolate. Add 2 TBSP Marshmallows. Repeat steps until the bottle is full, ending with Marshmallows.
To Present Gift:
- Holiday Ribbon
- Small Holiday Trinket like a little ornament or decorative piece
- Recipe – written or typed out.
- Tie ribbon around jar and make a bow. You can hot glue to keep the ribbon in place when the jar is opened. If adding the recipe, before tying the ribbon, punch a hole in recipe and run it through the ribbon.
- An extra Holiday trinket added to the top of the cover makes the Hot Cocoa gift extra festive. Hot glue in place to hold.
