This is a perfect hostess gift: inexpensive to put together, easy to prepare, and makes a beautiful presentation. I'm shipping two off to friends for Christmas and added extra marshmallows to prevent the contents from shifting.
Classic Cocoa
David Prince
Layer the ingredients for homemade cocoa in a jar, add a ribbon and a tag, and you have a simple but stylish gift. This mix will fill a 1-quart jar (12 servings), but if your containers are different sizes, just keep the ratio of ingredients constant. On the back of the tag, write: "Mix contents in a large bowl. For each serving, place 1/3 cup cocoa mix in a mug and stir in 1 cup boiling water. Store remaining mix in airtight container."
Yield: Makes 1 quart mix or 12 servings hot cocoa
