Hot Chocolate Party Favors

Quick, easy favors around the holidays that look fabulous and are unique but are inexpensive are sometimes just a Christmas miracle. But if you can take something simple, like homemade hot cocoa, and put it in interesting packaging, like a test tube, it becomes something that might create gift-envy.

Every year I make a giant container of this homemade hot chocolate recipe and we drink it for a good part of the winter. It’s the perfect powdered cocoa, and great for gift giving! Use the cocoa mix as a gift and attach the recipe on a tag for your lucky recipient.

If you’d like a “haute” chocolate favor, you can’t go wrong with hot chocolate on a stick. The Giver’s Log gives a great how-to tutorial on their site, OR if you’re like me and the idea of tempering chocolate sends you running, they’ll also make some for you if you visit their shop at The Ticket Kitchen.
