Homemade PEPPERMINT HOT CHOCOLATE GIFTS ~ 1/2 way done! ~

After I got finished with the SUGAR SCRUBS I cleaned up.. took a little break and then got started on the

Peppermint Hot Chocolate Gifts

 I didn't take picture by picture. I mean it was pretty simple.. 

Layer first 7 ingredients in a 1 quart jar

Ingredients

1 cup dark chocolate cocoa powder

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup powdered milk

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1/2 cup miniature marshmallow

10 small peppermint sticks, chopped about 1/4 cup

1 Peppermint for garnish

That's just what I did.. 

Remember the recipe above is for 1 gift only. I doubled the recipe and did it for 7 jars.. 1 jar got broke and I still need to replace it. 

Now I know these look a little plain but they won't be by time I am finished!

It didn't take long to do. I tapped the jar on the table after every layer so it would be even for the next layer. 

This is how they will be if you follow the recipe.. I think its cute with the peppermint mixing with the marshmallows but another way to do it is 

what I think is the neater look. The peppermint before the chocolate chips is a clean look for this..I kinda like it better and wish all of them looked this way! 

I am done for the night but in the coming days I will have everything with these and the sugar scrubs done!! 

Yea!! 

I will take finished pictures when I'm done! 

Here is the label..
