Peppermint Cocoa Mini Gift Jars
Homemade Hot Cocoa Powder Ingredients:
5 C. dry powdered milk
1 C. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/2 C. powder sugar
1 C. powder coffee cream, original/regular flavour
2 tsp. cornstarch to prevent sticking
*crushed peppermints
*Small glass jars
Directions:
#1. Combine the dry ingredients, mixing well.
#2. Add about 1/4 cup of hot cocoa mix to the bottom of the each jar and allow it to settle. If you are unsure of the size of your jar, I would fill 3/4 of it with homemade cocoa mix and then fill the rest of the way with ‘extras’.
#3. Add in the crushed peppermints and fill to the top.
*Each jar is about 1 serving when added to 8-10 oz of hot water or milk.

8 oz jars work great! 4 oz jars will work too if you plan to top with less crushed candy.
