This homemade hot cocoa recipe with free printable chalkboard labels is sure to top the list of favorite holiday gifts!
One of my family's favorite things to enjoy during the cold winter months is hot cocoa! It's one of the first things Kate asks for when she gets home from school, and it's become an afternoon ritual for us to catch up on our day over a mug of hot chocolate...she enjoys hers with a candy cane and marshmallows, while I opt for marshmallows and crushed peppermint sprinkles! A few years ago, we started making our own hot cocoa mix. It's soooo much better than the store bought mixes in our opinion, and makes a great Christmas gift too! Today, I want to share our homemade hot cocoa recipe!

If you are making it to give as a gift, you can add one of these cute little Chalkboard Mason Jar Labels to the top for a little added touch! I also like to tie a candy cane and a sprig of rosemary onto my jar lid using red and white baker's twine. I think it just gives it a lovely touch! To download and print the labels above, click HERE!
