{Sugar Bee} A Sweet Gift Idea

The holidays can definitely be stressful, not to mention a little on the pricey side. But what can you do when you have so many people to shop for? Well I have a little gift idea that is cute and super simple and won't break the bank. Hot cocoa filled ornaments! These make the perfect gifts for teachers, neighbors, coworkers, and anyone that you want to know you have thought of them this holiday season.

Ingredients:

- Clear plastic ornament
- Hot cocoa packets
- Mini chocolate chips
- Crushed peppermint candies (if you can't find the crushed baking candies, just put peppermint candies in your food processor or in a bag and crush them with your rolling pin....works like a charm!)
- Marshmallow bits (you can usually find these in the aisle next to the hot cocoa packets)

Directions:
First thoroughly wash the plastic ornament and let fully dry. Then using a funnel, pour in a packet of the hot cocoa mix. Next add a handful of mini chocolate chips. Follow that with some crushed peppermint candies. Finally top it with the marshmallow bits. Put the ornament top back on and adorn it with a ribbon and one of my printable tags. There you have it, a wonderful gift for someone special!

These make perfect pairings with a holiday mug and a candy cane too!

Happy Holidays!
