It's getting close to gift-giving season. Here's a handy little recipe that you can package up and give as gifts to friends, family and neighbors.
Gift Giving Cocoa Mix
5 cups powdered milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup cocoa powder
Optional:
mini marshmallows
crushed up candy canes/peppermints
mini chocolate chips
Mix dry ingredients together and process in blender or food processor to mix well. Pour into decorative jars and fill 1/2 way. Fill the other half with a layer of chocolate chips, a layer of crushed up peppermints 9or candy canes) and another layer of mini marshmallows. Decorate jar and add a tag with these directions:
To serve, add about 6 tablespoons mix to 3/4 cup hot water, or to taste.

Love the cocoa mix! Great idea, thanks!
Gayle, do you still have that Chai Tea recipe for gifts that you posted last year or the year before? I am thinking about doing that this year. Thanks,
Susan
Brilliant Gayle! My husband would love this. He really appreciates homemade gifts. Thanks!
What a pretty - and tasty - gift! Thanks for sharing it, and for hosting.
I love giving food gifts and mixes for Christmas. Your cocoa mix looks great. Thanks for sharing and as always thanks for hosting the swap.
Great idea, Gayle!! Really i need your blog as i go through life! :-)
Those are an easy and affordable way of giving for the holidays. Adding the peppermint really makes it pop. Just started following and love your site. I'll be back often.
Thanks.
hi gayle,
didn't you have a post on making your own shampoo once? I can't find it, if you did.
