What is it about wintertime that just makes a warm mug of hot chocolate taste so much better? I’m not exactly sure but I’m definitely not going to complain. Instead what I’ll be doing today is sharing one of my favorite hot chocolate recipes of all time. It makes a decadent mocha cocoa mix that you can store in a jar until you’re ready to make your hot chocolate.
You’ll start by layering all of the ingredients in your jar according to the recipe directions listed down below. You can also feel free to print out the recipe itself on card stock to attach to your jar before decorating itl if you’d like. Once you have the jar filled and decorated, it makes for a fantastic gift idea for your loved ones with a chocolate sweet tooth.
