This gift costs next to nothing to make. Mason jars are really inexpensive at Michael's and odds are you probably have sugar and cocoa in the house. If not, they're not expensive. (I use organic/raw cacao, but there are other brands that aren't quite as pricey)
What you'll need:
-Mason jar (self-sealing)
-3/4 cups cocoa powder
-1 1/2 cups sugar
-measuring cup
-paper
-ribbon
-hole punch, scissors
-pencil
There are two ways do make this gift. You can either layer the cocoa and sugar in like I did, or you can pre-mix them.
It's important to put the cocoa first because the grains are smaller and don't let the sugar seep past and make the layers look sloppy. So 3/4 cups cocoa goes into the bottom first.
Next is the 1 1/2 cups sugar. You can also use light brown sugar instead of regular granulated, or a mix of both.
On the tag, I put the directions, of course.
"1.) Shake the ingredients in the jar until fully mixed. 2.) Heat up 2 1/2 tablespoons and one cup of milk in a small saucepan. 3.) Whisk until completely blended."
Tie on the tag with a nice ribbon (in my case lace), and label it to the lucky person.
All done!
