I decided that I wanted to make several varieties. Not everyone I know loves chocolate so there is the wonderful white chocolate version too! The options are endless and there is so much room for creativity!
Moreover there are many ways to gift wrap the ornament. I like to wrap them together with a mug, candy canes and a dipped spoon!
Hot cocoa on a winter day is so comforting!
I also like including a mug and a chocolate dipped spoon or candy cane!
Here are some Christmas mugs I love:
I used clear plastic “craft” ornaments from Walmart. I checked into these ornaments and they say that you can put candy in them so they should be okay for Hot Cocoa Mix, but do your own research.

These are 3.15 inches and have a 1/2 inch opening. Sometimes you can also find these in the craft sections at Walmart and Hobby Lobby. Just make sure they are disk shaped and not round so that you don’t need as much mix to fill them. If all you can find is the round shaped ornaments then use a smaller size like 2 1/2 inches instead of 3.

Hot Cocoa Mix Ornaments
Ingredients

- Jet Puffed Mallow Bits Kraft Brand - usually can be found by hot chocolate mixes
- tag or note on how to make the hot chocolate (see the post on how to sign up for the printable) note should say: mix with 8 oz. hot water
- mugs are optional
Instructions
- First start with a clean ornament and take the top off. Fill each ingredient into the ornament using a funnel. Start with the hot cocoa mix, sprinkles, chocolates and lastly the mallow bits. Put top back on. You will need to deliver these standing upright or wrap the top with plastic wrap to keep contents inside. It's ready to go. Just gift it alone or with the other items recommended! Easy and fun!

I did these one year as a "mass present" for my coworkers and they were a big hit! What a fun and useful idea!

Where did the Soup Mix ornaments come from, with a screw on top?
Great ideas!
