Hot chocolate mix in a jar

Mar 21

Make-ahead hot chocolate jars are a fun gift or holiday party contribution. All you have to do is spoon the hot chocolate mix into four mugs, add steamed milk, and stir!

VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE / SERVES: 4

INGREDIENTS

1 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

1/4 cup brown sugar cubes

1/4 cup mini marshmallows

later: 12 ounces steamed milk per mug

METHOD

Takes about 10 minutes.

Layer the cocoa powder, chocolate chips, sugar cubes, and marshmallows.

I recommend in that order—I tried a couple of ways and this is the prettiest. Also recommend using a funnel (I just used my Hario V60 pour over) to make sure the cocoa doesn’t stick itself to the sides of the jar.

When it’s time to make the hot chocolate, divide the mixture among four mugs, add 12 ounces of steamed milk, and stir.
