Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup dried powdered milk
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ⅛ cup mini marshmallows

Instructions
 

  • Distribute all of your ingredients on the counter to make to ensure the layers are even and correct in the Mason jars. 
  • Using a scooper or funnel in a 16-ounce mason jar, layer the ingredients in each jar as follows.
  • For the first layer, add the ⅓-cup nonfat-powered milk to the bottom of the mason jar.
  • For the second layer and third layer, add the ⅓- cup unsweetened hot cocoa and then ¼-cup white sugar. 
  • For the fourth layer, add ¼-cup semisweet chocolate chips.
  • Finish off the top layer of the jar with a ⅛-cup layer of mini marshmallows. Seal the jar with a mason jar lid and add any type of decoration you want to the jar. I added twine and ribbon to my jars and tied a candy cane and gift tag on the handle of the jar to make it super festive! 
  • To serve: Tip the hot chocolate mix from 1 jar and divide between two mugs and top up with 1 cup boiling water per mug. Mix well and enjoy!
