I make hot cocoa mix every year & give it for gifts to a lot of people. I usually make 2-3 double batches. I make it all up first & then I put the mixture in the jars. It seems like this is a more efficient way to make it rather than one mix at a time. I've never added toppers before, but I think I might put a variety of toppers in baggies, then put all of the baggies in a decorative basket & let everyone select their choice of toppers to go with their jars of cocoa mix. We have a big Christmas party for my side of the family & this is when I give it to everyone. Everyone really likes it & my grandchildren really enjoy it after they have been out sledding. One of my great nephews really enjoys making some & sharing it with his best friend! It really warms my heart that they like it so much. Last year, I bought two 1-gallon sized jars from Amazon & filled them up with the mix for my grandkids. They really liked that! It should have lasted for the season!! Lol!
Well, I just found your channel. Thank you so much for the sharing of these mixes. I will love them, and it makes having Christmas even easier! I'm an empty nester, so I don't have any children to send the Coco mixes to school with for their teachers ....darn it I wish I had it back then! but I have a lot of grandkids, and maybe I can help them out. With one of their teachers... thank you for all your hard work!!
Thank you so much for coming up with all of those wonderful delicious cocoa recipes!! I’ll bet you had fun experimenting, didn’t you? I can’t wait to see more of your recipes! Thanks again Tina!
Hello Tina. The hot chocolates were great. All the different flavors makes it all the more unique. Can you write the instructions down that you have on the cards so we know how to make a cup of it. Can’t wait to see the brownies. Great job.
These are so precious. Thank you for sharing! I am taking it a step further. I have a family of 6 on my Christmas list. I'm thinking that I might use 4 regular Mason jars and completely fill 3 with cocoa mix and one with marshmallows. I am getting into small woodworking projects, so I will make a small wood caddy with a handle to hold the 4 jars. Then after the cocoa is gone, they will have the caddy for utensils when they have parties, or for pens and such on the desk, or to hold things in the bathroom, or whatever.
Great ideas for inexpensive gifts to give to family and friends. I got a chocolate high just watching you make them up. Happy Holidays are in your future. Thanks for sharing.
Tina you are super amazing you do everything ???? I wish I live closer to you so you could teach some of your crafty talents and techniques , a master of them all and more 😃😄god bless you I so enjoy watching your videos 😁be safe and stay healthy ❄️😆⛄️
@@TinaKazarian need instructions on how to make it to add to the package. I just can't figure it out Do you just add water? When you have time maybe you could send the instructions. Thank you in advance 🦋
I am experimenting with hot cocoa mixes with my granddaughters. We are looking for a good mix and decided to try your Peppermint one. Since we are working on the basic part, we limited the peppermint and used 1/2 cane sugar and 1/2 powdered sugar. If this works like I think it will, this will be our go to for pantry storage of hot cocoa. I can just see it now - the girls in an assembly line, making jars of hot cocoa mix to store in our family pantries. Now when I say jars, it takes 5 times the amount of your recipe to make one storage jar. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing this. One of the girls is already wanting the toffee recipe.
This is a great Christmas idea! I love the video and the different flavors! I will be watching for more Christmas ones! Brownies, and cookies sound wonderful ! Thanks for teaching us! Merry Christmas !
Wow! I just found your channel and what a fun gift. Love making gifts for family and friends. Great idea and thanks for sharing. Can't wait to taste the "Elvis in the house" one. ;)
I just made 2 jars of each of these with my 15 year old daughter tonight. She learned something new and we had tons of laughs along the way! Thank you for sharing these! We can’t wait to make the brownie and cookie ones this week!! She is the youngest of my five and the last one at home!
Awesome idea, these look so good! I make something similar to these and I find that if I use a whisk to stir the mixture, it blends really easily and gets out any lumps which I always seem to have in my cocoa...lol Lots of luv from New Brunswick! Jenn
Can I ask, is the amount in the jars 1 serve? I was thinking about making the mix for our family Christmas eve box. (We put treats and a movie into this box for Christmas eve family time.
great video, Tina! My husband grew up on the hot chocolate base. A tip. use 1/2 as much powdered sugar as you do granulated sugar. You'll get a creamier consistency as it dissolves better. Thanks for sharing. I'm subscribed under my craft channel but my sister shared this while I'm working under my author account. Creative Christmas Blessings!
I like this idea and these recipes except for the coffee one for kids, for adults I love the soup mason jar recipes and ingredients. Loved the commenter who talked about putting the baggies around the marshmallows! Great suggestion! I know you said you're going to decorate them later and I haven't watched the video to the end yet but perhaps a small square of quilting Christmas themed fabric under the lid the way they do jam jars.
What a wonderful gift. Especially on those wintry cold days. This is so nice and so budget friendly. A beautiful gift from the heart. Thank you so much for sharing the specifics of each flavor. God bless you. Tamson from Kentucky. 😇💗
Totally awesome video! Thanks for making one for Elvis! I am looking forward to your next videos! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing and creative talents! Blessings from Canada!
I found this video after watching your cookie in a jar video!! Both are great and I will be putting them to use this year. I just can not do the peanut butter ones. We have a peanut allergy and don’t bring it into the house. But they sound great!! Thank You I hope for more jar recipes soon! Like soup and spice mixes
So yummy, o goodness, I thought your flavors were great, can’t wait to dance with Elvis 🕺...maybe put Mello’s in some plastic wrap, won’t be as pretty but it might “quiet” and make some folks happier😂 👍👍
I LOVED YOUR IDEAS!!! I REALLY LIKED THE "ELVIS" WHITE CHOCOLATE AND PEANUT BUTTER-BANANA ONE!!! Great Idea!!! This is My first time that I have ever seen any of Your videos. I did subscribe as I want to watch more. Thank You for sharing Your Great ideas with Us. Happy Holidays!!! 😊👍🏼🎄❄️⛄️🎁
The thing that drives me crazy about living down under is that it is so hot at Christmas. I will squirrel this recipe away for “Christmas in July” when it’s colder here. Thank you for sharing this awesome gift idea. I love making drink/soup/cake in a mug things! 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺
Rosie Allbon awe I know my step daughter was in Australia for 2 years she said it was hot. Hope u make some in July and let me know how u like them. TFW hun 💖
Tina just found this. What are proportions when you make to drink? Thank you for sharing. You are such a love!! I may do these as my " rewards" this year. I usually fill the dollar tree cupcake holders full of homemade cookies. I take to everyone who has given great customer service thru the year..as well as my neighbors and some at the soup kitchen. I lost my dad on Christmas day 2014. He loved Christmas, it was just his time of year.. it was the first time in 73 years he hadn't been Santa!! He was a minister, and served as a military Chaplain for over 21years. I truly believe God let him pick his time!! He would be 99 now. I'm caring for my mom now for the past 2 years, as primary caregiver. I've moved in with her. My poor house is a mess. I go every day and get my mail and work on my mess!! Moms been on hospice for over a year. Dollar tree and these videos are my therapy!! May seem odd, but it helps me get through this time. I appreciate you and your videos. Thank you for being part of my therapy!! Xoxo.
Great gifts :) I put marshmallows in a baggie so they can be pulled out easy then mix the chocolate and add them
Chris Fitzgerald that’s a awesome idea, thank u for sharing it, I appreciate it. TFW hun 💖
I use to make these years ago. Don't know why I stopped. You reminded me of them. Great video.
I am going to make these for my son. He's 26 and still loves to have hot cocoa with mom. Thank you so much. God Bless.
Shannon White thank u so much sweetheart and Merry Christmas to u and family 💖

Thanks for sharing. I'm subscribed under my craft channel but my sister shared this while I'm working under my author account. Creative Christmas Blessings!
It's my understanding that powdered sugar contains cornstarch to keep it from clumping, which could explain the creamy texture. I'm going to try it.
What a super idea !!!! Definetly will try this next Holiday season....Sounds so yummy !!!!!!
