Hot chocolate in a Jar, 5 ways. Christmas homemade gift ideas 🎄 🎁

[@gingerzelidon3573]

I love this! I have a girlfriend that loves Elvis and I think I will make the Elvis one for her for Christmas this year. Thanks so much!

[@Chriscreations123]

Great gifts :) I put marshmallows in a baggie so they can be pulled out easy then mix the chocolate and add them

[@TinaKazarian]

Chris Fitzgerald that’s a awesome idea, thank u for sharing it, I appreciate it. TFW hun 💖

[@lynnkavanagh7361]

I make hot cocoa mix every year & give it for gifts to a lot of people. I usually make 2-3 double batches. I make it all up first & then I put the mixture in the jars. It seems like this is a more efficient way to make it rather than one mix at a time. I've never added toppers before, but I think I might put a variety of toppers in baggies, then put all of the baggies in a decorative basket & let everyone select their choice of toppers to go with their jars of cocoa mix. We have a big Christmas party for my side of the family & this is when I give it to everyone. Everyone really likes it & my grandchildren really enjoy it after they have been out sledding. One of my great nephews really enjoys making some & sharing it with his best friend! It really warms my heart that they like it so much. Last year, I bought two 1-gallon sized jars from Amazon & filled them up with the mix for my grandkids. They really liked that! It should have lasted for the season!! Lol!

[@sandiemom8888]

I use to make these years ago. Don't know why I stopped. You reminded me of them. Great video.

[@riverlassy7290]

I am going to make these for my son. He's 26 and still loves to have hot cocoa with mom. Thank you so much. God Bless.

[@janjones4224]

Looks Delicious! What a fun gift, thank you for sharing

[@Romans828girl]

These are so precious. Thank you for sharing! I am taking it a step further. I have a family of 6 on my Christmas list. I'm thinking that I might use 4 regular Mason jars and completely fill 3 with cocoa mix and one with marshmallows. I am getting into small woodworking projects, so I will make a small wood caddy with a handle to hold the 4 jars. Then after the cocoa is gone, they will have the caddy for utensils when they have parties, or for pens and such on the desk, or to hold things in the bathroom, or whatever.

[@TheDarjer89]

Thank you, I will be making these with my daughter! I really like giving a homemade gift and this is quick, easy and inexpensive. Well done! 👍

[@mandirodgers9872]

Well, I just found your channel. Thank you so much for the sharing of these mixes. I will love them, and it makes having Christmas even easier! I'm an empty nester, so I don't have any children to send the Coco mixes to school with for their teachers ....darn it I wish I had it back then! but I have a lot of grandkids, and maybe I can help them out. With one of their teachers... thank you for all your hard work!!

[@joannemullins3099]

Hello Tina. The hot chocolates were great. All the different flavors makes it all the more unique. Can you write the instructions down that you have on the cards so we know how to make a cup of it. Can’t wait to see the brownies. Great job.

[@stephaniebell9093]

I am experimenting with hot cocoa mixes with my granddaughters. We are looking for a good mix and decided to try your Peppermint one. Since we are working on the basic part, we limited the peppermint and used 1/2 cane sugar and 1/2 powdered sugar. If this works like I think it will, this will be our go to for pantry storage of hot cocoa. I can just see it now - the girls in an assembly line, making jars of hot cocoa mix to store in our family pantries. Now when I say jars, it takes 5 times the amount of your recipe to make one storage jar. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing this. One of the girls is already wanting the toffee recipe.

[@diannaskare7829]

the only difference between our recipes is the salt ;) my grannys recipe! also after making thehot cocoa she added a drop or 3 of Vanilla ! we used canning jars with decoration or painting on outside and candy stirring stick inside .

[@melanievogt9976]

Wow!! I love this. Thank you for the grand ideas!!

[@cindipeterson3400]

Love the recipes. The only thing I will change is I will mix all the ingredients before putting the in the jars-- otherwise the recipient will have to pour the whole mix into a bowl to make a cup of chocolate that includes everything.

[@TinaKazarian]

Cindi Peterson definitely u can do that, this is just for looks purposes. TFW hun 💕.

[@deborahbrown5153]

@@TinaKazarian will that work mixing everything together. And does the looks way work also. I mean mixing it all together. Will it spoil the marshmallows when you add hot liquid? And your way I am only wondering if it's going to be difficult to get at the ingredients. It's a great thing for Christmas. I think my grandma used to do it. Minus all the trimmings. X

[@MeBeingAble]

Exactly what i was thinking. Not practical

Made ahead and cooked them all at once and sent him with a few extras that weren't baked yet.. we put vanilla bean ice cream on top and it was a big hit!

[@AngelaDrakeA]

great video, Tina! My husband grew up on the hot chocolate base. A tip. use 1/2 as much powdered sugar as you do granulated sugar. You'll get a creamier consistency as it dissolves better. Thanks for sharing. I'm subscribed under my craft channel but my sister shared this while I'm working under my author account. Creative Christmas Blessings!

[@wyominghome4857]

It's my understanding that powdered sugar contains cornstarch to keep it from clumping, which could explain the creamy texture. I'm going to try it.

[@love15th]

Wow nice ideas! And I love your shirt 😊

Tina just found this. What are proportions when you make to drink? Thank you for sharing. You are such a love!! I may do these as my " rewards" this year. I usually fill the dollar tree cupcake holders full of homemade cookies. I take to everyone who has given great customer service thru the year..as well as my neighbors and some at the soup kitchen. I lost my dad on Christmas day 2014. He loved Christmas, it was just his time of year.. it was the first time in 73 years he hadn't been Santa!! He was a minister, and served as a military Chaplain for over 21years. I truly believe God let him pick his time!! He would be 99 now. I'm caring for my mom now for the past 2 years, as primary caregiver. I've moved in with her. My poor house is a mess. I go every day and get my mail and work on my mess!! Moms been on hospice for over a year. Dollar tree and these videos are my therapy!! May seem odd, but it helps me get through this time. I appreciate you and your videos. Thank you for being part of my therapy!! Xoxo.
