Instructions
- First, print out the PDF pouches of your choice - this one or this one - on normal 8 1/2 x 11 text weight paper (PDF links in blog above). The hot cocoa recipe makes enough for 24 servings, so you'll be able to fill 24 pouches.
- Cut along the outside of the packet, taking note of the instructions in red as you cut.
- Fold the pouch along the solid white lines. Fold the bottom flap up and add a bead of glue along all sides. Fold the left flap over and do the same.
- Fold the backside over the bottom and left flap. Smooth it down and let it dry.
- Now it's time to mix up a batch of hot cocoa powder! In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Kids will get a kick out of measuring these three simple dry ingredients.
- Stir it up to combine. Easy peasy!
- Carefully measure out 2 tablespoons of powder into a very small plastic zipper bag (snack size).
- Gently squeeze any excess air from the bag. Seal the bag and spread out the powder to flatten.
- Fold the bag in half.
- Place the sealed zipper bag into the paper pouch.
- Seal with a pretty sticker or a piece of decorative tape.
- Pop them in a pretty basket and you are ready to give them away. The pouches have printed instructions on the back for making your hot cocoa-- simply mix the powder with the hot milk of your choice, stir, and enjoy.
- Happy Hanukkah, or Happy Holidays! You have two printable options to choose from.
- You might just want to drink a cup yourself. We promise you, you'll never buy store bought again. This cocoa is simply delish, with no artificial ingredients-- just cocoa, sugar, and salt.
- Add some marshmallows (if you like that sort of thing), and enjoy!
- Who doesn't love a cup of hot cocoa? It warms your hands and warms your heart. Happy holidays to you and yours!
