A few weeks ago, our move was just around the corner. I knew I had to get ahead of myself with no access to a workable kitchen and wanted to make a little early Christmas present for Logan’s coworkers. The answer was Hot Chocolate on a Stick.
Just by coincidence, when I was attending Mixed Conference with McCormick, they served Hot Chocolate on a Stick at one of the parties! Great minds think alike, I do believe.
It’s such a sweet gift and can really create an instant warm, holiday sensation. The person receiving this gift will simply need to heat up a glass of milk and stir the Hot Chocolate on a Stick in until combined.
It’s probably the best cup of hot chocolate I’ve ever tasted.
Creamy and delicious.
I’ve heard numerous times from my family that their favorite Christmas gifts have been my edible gifts. One year I gave a homemade assortment of chocolate truffles. Another year an assortment of homemade biscotti. It’s so fun!
These hot chocolates on a stick would be such a great one for your family and friends this year!
To make them extra special, place them in a food safe cellophane bag, wrap them with ribbon and slap on a pretty label!
I purchased these kraft brown round labels and used the label creator on Avery’s website to make them! So easy.
See?
Enjoy these homemade edible gifts!
