Entering The Christmas Zone!

It’s that time again!

Gearing up for Christmas!

Thanksgiving is over, Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday have all passed without further ado! Now is the time to think about the reason for the season.

Brrr, baby it’s cold out there! I need hot chocolate. (I love hot chocolate!)

Here’s a quick holiday idea for making gifts teachers, friends, etc. My kids love this hot chocolate mix. Adapted and tweaked from Grandma Dot’s recipe to…

Evie’s Hot Chocolate Mix!

1 – 8 ounce jar cocoa powder

1 – 8 quart package non fat dry milk (about 10 cups)

1 -16 ounce package sifted powdered sugar (about 3 -3/4 cups)

1 -10 ounce jar powdered non dairy creamer

Optional * pinch of cinnamon and whipped cream or marshmallows. I like to add a peppermint stick to my gifts!

My grandson, Justin doesn’t like cinnamon so I just add it to my cup!

~ In large bowl mix all ingredients except optional items. Store in airtight container. For one serving add about one fourth cup hot chocolate mix to one cup boiled water. Let cool before drinking!

Last year for teachers and friends, the grand kids and I did Rudolph Hot Chocolate Treats .

For over a year I have pinned these holiday ideas, and here’s the mother load! I thought maybe you would like to check out my Pinterest board full of Christmas ideas.

Many are do-it-yourself, easy decorations, crafts, and ornaments that will make your holiday brighter.
