Why this pairing works

Layers of cocoa, marshmallows and chocolate chips look beautiful through glass. Tucking in a rock candy stirrer and a drink bomb turns a jar into a whole cozy evening.

Makes 4 gift jars Prep 20 min Cook 0 min

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Make sure the jars are completely clean and dry. Any moisture will make the cocoa clump.
  2. Spoon about 1 cup of hot chocolate mix into each jar and tap to level it.
  3. Add a layer of chocolate chips, then fill to the top with mini marshmallows and close tightly.
  4. Tie a wrapped drink bomb and a rock candy stick to each jar with ribbon.
  5. Copy the preparation directions from the hot chocolate package onto each tag, and add: melt the drink bomb in a mug of hot milk.

Make it your own

  • Use the Spiced Apple Cider drink bomb for a hostess who loves cider.
  • Add a small bag of crushed peppermint for a winter version.
