Everyone knows that reusing glass jars is the trendiest new craft to take part in, so why not make gift giving easy this year and make your own hot cocoa jars this holiday season?
These hot cocoa jars are the perfect combination of an aesthetically-pleasing, cute vibe without breaking the bank, and it just so happens that this mix is really, really tasty. This recipe will make three pint-sized jars worth of mix with five cups of hot chocolate per jar. If you want even more holiday spirit than just a red bow, I recommend adding some peppermint bits or cinnamon.
