The Hot Chocolate Mix in a Jar is more than just a recipe, it’s an original gift idea. Since Christmas is approaching, why not start preparing some jars? I don’t know about you, but I love making little gifts for friends and family at home, I really love it a lot! Want to compare a homemade gift to a bought one? I think it’s nice to receive something homemade, it gives me the idea of “warmth”, made with love.

Hot Chocolate Mix Ingredients

Tools
- 1 Jar 150 ml
Preparation of the Hot Chocolate Mix
Preparing the Hot Chocolate Mix is really very simple and very quick. It just takes a little patience, but not much! Let’s take our jar, which must be very clean, and start adding our ingredients.
Let’s start with the cornstarch, distributing it well with the help of a teaspoon or the handle of a spoon. Then add the cocoa powder, sugar, and chocolate. We need to try to create well-defined layers, always with the help of a teaspoon or a spoon.
At this point, all that is left is to close the jar with the lid. Remember to prepare a card with the “instructions for use.” The Hot Chocolate Mix in a jar should be put in a saucepan with 2 ½ cups of milk, then light the stove and stir with a whisk until the desired thickness is reached.
Notes
We can use brown sugar.
The dark chocolate can be either in bar form (to be chopped with a knife) or in chocolate chips.
The Chocolate Mix can also be prepared in advance, it keeps for up to 1 month.
