Nothing is more comforting on a cold winter's day that a cup of hot cocoa, a good book and a fluffy fleece blanket!  I make up jars of my own cocoa mix in the fall and then stash them on the pantry shelves until needed.  Whether it's snuggling up next to the fireplace for some quiet time, a comforting after school warmup for the kids or simply a warm mug of happiness to share by the campfire, hot cocoa is the perfect comfort beverage everyone enjoys!  These cocoa filled jars also make a perfect hostess gift when tucked in a basket with mini marshmallows, cinnamon sticks, chocolate kisses, etc.  Below you'll find my recipe for homemade cocoa mix along with FREE labels and jar tags you can download now by right clicking the images and saving to your computer.  So go ahead, get comfortable, relax and ENJOY !
