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 for 1-2 minutes before layering to intensify its rich chocolate flavor and eliminate any bitter notes.
Chop Chocolate Chips Uniformly 🍫
Break larger chocolate chips into smaller, uniform pieces so they dissolve evenly and smoothly when hot water or milk is added, preventing clumping.
Layer for Visual Impact & Flavor 🎨
Alternate layers of cocoa powder, sugar, and chocolate chips in alternating patterns to create an Instagram-worthy gift while ensuring even distribution of flavors in each spoonful.
Use High-Quality Cinnamon Sticks 🤎
Select fresh, fragrant cinnamon sticks and place one vertically in the jar for both visual appeal and to infuse subtle spice notes—remove before consuming to prevent overpowering the cocoa.
Include Clear Brewing Instructions 📝
Attach instructions recommending 1 cup hot milk or water and gentle stirring to fully dissolve all layers, plus a note that the mixture should sit for 30 seconds to allow proper melting before enjoying.
