Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix

Now that the holiday season is upon us, it's great to find recipes that are not only delicious, but easy to wrap up and give as gifts!

This Hot Cocoa recipe is perfect for teachers, neighbors, friends, and family!  I used to make a batch to give my grandfathers every year for Christmas...one of my favorite memories!

Just toss all the ingredients together, funnel it into a cute mason jar, maybe slap a bow on top if you're creative, or tie a ribbon if you're fancy, and it's good to go!

This recipe makes a lot but can easily be cut in half to make smaller batches. Because it makes so much, it's a gift that's perfect for the winter season!

I love adding a large dollop of whipped cream on top, maybe a few marshmallows and some crushed candy cane, too!

Want to really take it up a notch?  Add just one drop of Peppermint Vitality Essential Oil to your mug!  Mmm mmm mmm...delicious!  It's the perfect combo of chocolate and peppermint!
