Instructions

In the mason jar, layer the cocoa powder, sugar, chocolate chips, and top with the cinnamon stick. To ensure even, uniform layers use a funnel or fashion a makeshift funnel using parchment paper.

Place the lid on top and tie a festive bow around the lip if desired. If gifting, include a tag with these instructions: "To make the hot cocoa, place the contents of the jar in a medium saucepan with 8 cups of milk. Simmer until the chocolate is melted and the hot cocoa is warm and smooth!"

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Cocoa Powder 🔥
Lightly toast the unsweetened cocoa powder in a dry skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes before layering to intensify its chocolate flavor and eliminate any bitter notes.
Temper Your Chocolate Chips 🍫
Finely chop and slightly warm your chocolate chips before adding to the jar so they distribute evenly and won't settle into one clump at the bottom during storage.
Layer Strategy Matters 📦
Alternate dry ingredients (sugar, cocoa, chips) in distinct visible layers rather than mixing—this creates an attractive presentation and helps recipients appreciate the quality ingredients inside.
Cinnamon Stick Placement 🎋
Position the cinnamon stick vertically along the inside of the jar before filling to keep it visible as a beautiful garnish and make it easy for recipients to use when brewing.
Include Brewing Instructions 📋
Attach a tag specifying to shake the jar well before use and add 8-10 oz of hot milk or water—this prevents recipients from making it too thin and ensures they experience your intended flavor balance.
