Gifts-in-a-jar Peppermint Stick Hot Cocoa

This is a recipe my cousin sent me Peppermint stick-hot chocolate link (don't want to get in trouble for copying, I'm not sure of the etiquette of blogging:-)

I did not make this one, but how could it not be good!!! Plus it is super pretty to look at.

Peppermint Stick Hot Cocoa

• 1 cup powdered milk
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy

Preparation

• Layer powdered milk, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, chocolate chips, and peppermint candy.

Note: 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."
