Here’s another easy gift idea. Who doesn’t like a nice cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows? Okay, maybe someone who doesn’t like chocolate. Since it’s winter, this is a nice gift to help the recipient of the gift warm up on those cold days.

If you want to make a Mexican hot chocolate, add 2 tsp. Ground cinnamon to the mix.
If you will give it as a gift, place 6 Tbsp. of the mix in a bag and the marshmallows or chocolate chips. If you give a candy cane, tape it to the outside of the bag. Place the instructions: combine 2 – 3 Tbsp. Mix with 6 ounces of boiling water.
