so this is the hot cocoa gift you were asking about.
it's not much but just a little something.
it's all about the packaging ladies!
i melted chocolate and dipped big marshmallows in it using toothpicks.
then sprinkles are added immediately.
i laid them out onto wax paper to cool.
(it took about 30 minutes start to finish)
i packaged chocolate dipped and regular marshmallows,
tied the treat bag closed with a ribbon, a tag and a candy cane.
the tag says thank you.
i stapled 2 hot cocoa packs right to the treat bag.
super easy.
very pretty.
a little something to show your appreciation.
more to come......
very cute. makes me want to trade the cup of jo for a hot chocolate. have a great weekend meg.

Never thought of dipping marshmellows. I guess never thought you could b/c they may melt?? Good idea. I made sausage balls w/a hot chocolate packet to go w/it and took it to few of my neighbors!!
Merry Chhristmas!!

such a great idea! i might need to give it a try. that would require learning how to melt chocolate, but it's never too late to learn...

Ok this looks like something I could tackle...the melted chocolate part may be a task for me...and messy but it's too cute not to try!
Posted by: Rachel | December 15, 2008 at 11:15 AM
So adorable! I've gotta do it for sure!
Did you use chocolate chips for the chocolate or baking chocolate or something else?
Please let me know!
Thanks!
Smiles,
Jen

Hi!
Can I use your picture of the bagged chocolate marshmallow cocoa gifts on my blog please? I attempted these. I'm VERY cooking challenged... and have kind of a funny story. I would definitely reference where the picture is from by putting your blog link. If not, that's more than OK... just thought I'd check. If so, THANKS A BUNCH!
Let me know,
Jen
