Hot Cocoa Party Favors for Valentine's Day

Explore this homemade hot cocoa recipe and create thoughtful party favors for your closest friends this Valentine’s Day.

Valentine's Day isn't just about romance and love—it's also a wonderful opportunity to celebrate friendship.

This year, I decided to share the joy by recreating the delightful homemade hot cocoa jars that were a hit in my baby shower, but now they will be transformed into heartfelt gifts for my closest friends.

This hot cocoa recipe is incredibly simple, with all the ingredients readily available at any store. A friend discovered this recipe on Pinterest, courtesy of Mels Kitchen Cafe. It yields approximately 20 servings of rich hot chocolate, perfect for filling about 6 small mason jars like these.

For an extra touch of sweetness, you can include a pack of marshmallows to accompany each jar.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups nonfat dry milk powder

• 2 cups powdered sugar

• 1½ cups cocoa powder, dutch-process or natural

• 1½ cups white chocolate chips or finely chopped white chocolate

• ¼ teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine all ingredients

   Get together all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, whisking until well mixed.

2. Mix all the Ingredients

   Use a food processor to pulse the mixture until the chocolate is finely ground.

3. Fill the mason jars

   Fill the mason jars with the hot chocolate mixture. This mixture yields approximately 20 servings of rich hot chocolate, perfect for filling about 6 mason jars (8 oz) like these.

   Store the dry mix in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

   To prepare the hot cocoa, simply scoop 1/3 cup of the cocoa mix into a mug and stir in 1 cup of hot milk or 1 cup of hot water.

I've created cute printable tags featuring the recipe, perfect for attaching to the jars so your friends can enjoy making hot cocoa at home.
