When it comes to party favors, I love sending guests home with a small gift they can use up or consume. One of my favorites is this homemade hot chocolate mix that they can enjoy sipping, and can re-use the jar for storage afterward.

The mix is so easy to make with just 3 ingredients. Include some mini marshmallows in the jar to add the finishing touch.

Why You’ll Love It

  • It’s perfect for baby showers and bridal showers. I included in my retro kitchen themed bridal shower as it fit right in with the themed decor.
  • You don’t need any special skills to put this together. You also don’t need a lot of time or money to create it!
  • The flip top jars are attractive and can be used later to hold anything from paper clips, to bath salts, to small kitchen utensils.
  • Use the recipe to create your own mix for a hot cocoa bar. Just double, triple or quadruple the ingredient amounts in order to scale up.

What You Need

Between the grocery store and the craft store, you can find everything you need to make these adorable favors.

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • White granulated sugar
  • Powdered nondairy creamer – you can find this in the coffee aisle.
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Jars – I love the flip top jars, but canning jars are also excellent.
  • Tags and string or ribbon to tie on the directions.
  • Optional thank you labels or other decorative attachments that coordinate with your parties theme.

Individual directions: Mix 2 Tablespoons mix with 6 ounces of hot water or milk. Top with marshmallows.

More Ideas to Customize

These jars also work well for hostess gifts, teacher gifts, or neighbor gifts. Here are some ways to add a little something extra to each one.

  • Put the mix into a cellophane bag, tie it with ribbon, and put it inside a festive mug.
  • Tie on a mini whisk to the jar.
  • Add a small sack of homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies or Oreo truffles.
  • Include a bag of candied pecans.
  • Give it with a pack of fun snowflake-shaped marshmallows.
