We spent yesterday afternoon putting our teacher and school/mom friends gifts together. We used the peppermint cocoa mix that I found on another blog last year. It looked so good, I pinned it on pinterest and have been waiting to make it for Christmas for almost a year! I started off by making a batch for our family (me) - to make sure it was as awesome as it looked. And let me tell you - - it is! So chocolatey, minty and rich. At the end of the cup, you are left with little bits of chocolate and peppermint to spoon into your mouth - delicious.
Here's the breakdown:
 |
| Powdered cocoa mix (we used nestles), mini semi-sweet chips, regular semi-sweet chips, mini-marshallows and crushed peppermint sticks (the big ones from dollar store) |
 |
| Mix it all up and be sure to smile real big while doing it |
 |
| lick the spoon when you are done stirring |
 |
| Bag it in cellophane bags - adding extra chips, marshmallows and peppermints on top |
 |
| Tag it with instructions and hand-drawn candy cane |
These are the teacher gifts - mug from marshalls, bag of cocoa and gift card to Barnes and Noble. I love these little bags - I have to remember to get them at Target again next year. They were cute and easy.
Hope you are having a great holiday season Wendy - my one blog reader!
