The original and ultimate Homemade Christmas gift was Christ himself. Handcrafted by The Maker of all, Jesus is Teacher, Friend, Lord, and Savior all wrapped up in one package. This unfathomable gift has been extended to all of mankind and offers the promise of hope, love and His amazing, saving grace. It is my sincere prayer that you have accepted this precious homemade gift from above. All others simply pale in comparison.

Keelie's Perfect Hot Chocolate
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup Hershey's cocoa
2 1/2 cups powdered milk (processed to fine powder)
1 teaspoon salt
1 T flour
Mix everything together and store in air-tight container. Put 1/3 cup mix in cup. Fill with hot water. Stir and Enjoy! Super secret: use this instead of sugar and creamer in your coffee. Ohhhh, yeah.
I made up several bags of Cocoa mix for gifts. I think it is a good idea to have some go-to gifts ready way before the holiday season gets in full swing. These make good gifts for hostesses, teachers, or Santa ;)
The cute little sacks were only 25 cents each at Wal-Mart.
Oh... thanks so much for sharing your yummy recipe. I just may have to "adopt" this recipe.. HA! Super gift idea... simple, sweet, and from the heart. <3
ReplyDeleteThe cocoa sounds delicious ~ the Savior is divine!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing both!
Have a joy-filled day!
Love your message. Love your packaging. And that recipe sounds fabulous! I have also packaged hot cocoa as gifts for families in those little plastic holiday tubs you can buy at the dollar store. But your packaging is definitely much, much cuter!

YES! Jesus is the the ultimate gift & one we get to get everyday as we share relationship with Him. Thanks for sharing this cocoa mix recipe too. I think we'll definitely do this for teachers this year. I just saw some gourmet hot choc. mix in the store called Candy Cane Cocoa with crushed candy cane pieces... I think I'll take your mix and add the candy cane... perfect gift with some baked goods. Blessings!
