DIY Hot Chocolate Mug Gift For Christmas
What You’ll Need:
- A festive or personalised mug
- Hot chocolate powder
- Mini marshmallows
- Candy canes
- Ribbon
- Cellophane bags
How To Make Hot Chocolate Gift Mugs
Step 1: Prepare your hot chocolate mix
Fill a small cellophane bag with hot chocolate powder and fill another one with the marshmallows.
This keeps the chocolate powder from “muddying” the marshmallows… no one wants brown marshmallows, am I right?
You could also use a small ready-made packet of hot chocolate instead if you prefer.
Step 2: Fill your mug
Place the bag of hot chocolate at the bottom of your mug and add the bag of marshmallows on top.
Optional: Add any other ingredients to the mug, such as chocolate sprinkles or chocolate chips. Keep these in separate bags as well.
Step 3: Wrap and decorate your mug
Place your mug inside a medium-sized cellophane bag and tie the top of it shut with a twist tie. Next, measure and trim a piece of ribbon and grab two candy canes.
Begin to tie the ribbon around the top of the cellophane bag, but don’t finish with a bow just yet. Hold your candy canes in a cross shape where your bow will be and then secure them in place with the bow.
Your DIY hot chocolate gift is now ready for your special someone. You could pop it in a gift bag, or you could even use it in a self-care winter gift basket.
