Hot Chocolate Mix in a Jar

Copyright © 2004-2011 by Jane Lake

A popular jar mix that is easy enough for children to prepare as Christmas gifts for their teacher, babysitter or grandma.

This recipe also makes a lovely jar gift for your office colleagues or co-workers, neighbours, the paper boy or the superintendent of your apartment building.

To Make this Jar Gift:
Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir well. For a finer mix, combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix well.


Store in an air tight container.

Recipe Directions:

Just want you all to know that i have follwed the recipe for the raspberry hot chocolatte with the raspberry koolaid and everybody that i gave it to said it was NASTY. Any other suggestions for this? My whole family loves the raspberry cocoa from the store but it is so expensive.

I've made it with raspberry jello...works good, but make it with milk, not water :)

I noticed this question is from 2009 so perhaps you've already found the raspberry "koolaid". If not, look for Wyler's in a canister. I think it has 5 or 6 individual containers that make 2 quarts each.
