Or perhaps you just want to warm up during the crazy winter storms we&#8217;ve been having lately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How about some hot chocolate mix? Everyone LOVES hot cocoa when it&#8217;s cold out and you can even mix in a scoop with your favorite coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you don&#8217;t need an extra gift to give this year, make this hot chocolate mix and keep it in your pantry for a quick holiday beverage. My girls love to have hot cocoa all year round, even in Florida summers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course it helps to have a stash of those mini marshmallows to top off your hot chocolate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are giving this mix as a gift, don&#8217;t forget to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"download some free jar labels (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/home-management\/mason-jar-lid-labels\/\" target=\"_blank\">download some free jar labels<\/a> to personalize the gift.
