When I was growing up, Christmas time was just about the only time of year when my sister and I would be allowed to have hot chocolate. It was a super special treat and we looked forward to it with great anticipation, reminding our mom repeatedly in the weeks before the holiday to pick up the box of mix at Safeway or Fred Meyers. Homemade hot chocolate mix makes a wonderful holiday gift, especially for families with young kids who look forward to a mug of cocoa before Santa comes to make his yearly visit. Alison Lewis has posted a terrific recipe for homemade mix on her site, Ingredients, Inc. that makes an excellent holiday gift. Packaged in pint-sized canning jars, deliciousness will ensue if you make this for your friends and family.
