Hot Chocolate Mix in a Mug

The homemade Peppermint Hot Cocoa Mix I make about every other year.

It is perfect for gift baskets, teacher Christmas Gifts, and Hostess gifts.

I have been making this recipe for more than 15 years.

Over the years I have adjusted the recipe until I have come up with a perfect balance of all the ingredients for a hot chocolate mix that is rich and creamy.

It is always my most requested homemade Christmas Gift.

How To Wrap Food Gifts

One of the best parts of making food gifts for the holidays is all about how to wrap the food gifts. The presentation is everything. 

Mason jars are easy enough to use to wrap food gifts. You can decorate the jars with paint, labels, and ribbons.

You can buy cellophane holiday bags to tuck into a holiday gift basket.

Or depending on the gift you could use a container that the recipient can use in their kitchen once the holiday food gift is gone.

    Absolutely, one of the favourite gifts I received last year was a jar of home made, mini gingerbread men. My friend made a bunch for us, I think we were all a little abashed at the effort she'd been to, but it was so lovely!
