Most Wonderful Time of the Year - What's inside the November Favorite Things Box!
There is something about the holiday season that is just magical!!! And, is there really anything better than a super cozy + chocolatey cup of hot cocoa with all your favorite toppings this time of year to help you relax and soak in all the moments of the season?!!
Included in the November Favorite Things Box are items that will help you slow down, relax and soak in those magical moments with friends and family to enjoy the most wonderful time of the year. Cue the hot cocoa station! The contents of this month’s box are a kit of items you’ll need to create and build the perfect set up with all your favorite hot cocoa toppings. You’ll have a spot to gather all season long for conversation and new memories! I can’t wait to see all your hot cocoa station creations!!!
Here’s what’s inside & ideas to build your own hot cocoa station:
#1 – It’s the most wonderful time of the year...and we need a cute sign that shines this positive holiday vibe as the focal point for your hot cocoa station building! This sign was handcrafted by a local maker Eva with Helps Homestead in Earlham, IA for your home!
#2 - Hot Cocoa Kit Container #1 includes chalkboard stickers for you to label your hot cocoa jars. After you get your stickers on your jars, fill jars with your favorite hot cocoa toppings. Think caramel bits, mint chips, chocolate chips, toffee, peanut butter chips...whatever will make your hot cocoa taste buds smile!
#3 -Hot Cocoa Kit Container #2 includes handmade cocoa pops from local chocolatier Deena with Heavenly Delights Chocolate in Perry, Iowa. These adorable marshmallows will make the perfect accessory for your cup in white, dark and milk chocolate flavors!
#4– Hot Cocoa Kit Container #3 includes my husband Jim’s Grandma’s homemade hot cocoa mix. I have had a hot cocoa station every year since the kids were old enough to sip on hot cocoa. This recipe is our tradition that I am sharing with you in the box for your own hot cocoa sippin’!
Hot Cocoa Mix Recipe:
25 oz. Powdered Milk
16 oz. Powdered Sugar
16 oz. Powdered Creamer
32 oz. Nesquick Chocolate Powder
Stir together for cocoa mix!
This is Jim with his Mom + Grandma’s. The hot cocoa recipe is from his Grandma Hansen {the Grandma Jim is looking at}. Awe…what a special memory!!!
