Hot Cocoa Mix Mug
‘Tis
the time of the year for holiday prezzies and fun crafts, so why not
combine them into one fabulous activity? Hot Cocoa Mix Mugs are a snap
to put together and, most important, appreciated by all those on your
“nice” list this year. Or, you know, you can make this for yourself so
you’ll always have easy access to great hot cocoa. As a gift, consider
putting a tag through some snazzy ribbon, writing the simple
instructions on it, like this: “Bring 8-ounces hot water to a boil, add
two tablespoons of mixed cocoa. Stir until the chocolate chips are
melted and you reach the desired temperature. Adding a teaspoon of
vanilla extract and vegan whipped cream optional but delightful.
Enjoy!” If you want to make something easier but a little less pretty,
pre-mix the sugar, cocoa, salt and powdered milk. While you won’t get
that cool layered look, it won’t need to be stirred later.

Hot Cocoa Mix Mug
½ cup vegan sugar
½ cup slavery-free, vegan cocoa
½ cup powdered vegan milk (I used coconut milk)
A dash salt
¼ cup slavery-free, vegan chocolate chips
¼ cup vegan mini-marshmallows (Trader Joe’s has great minis)
In
a wide-mouth pint jar, layer the ingredients from sugar at the bottom
to marshmallows at the time. I bumped the jar on the tabletop between
adding the first three ingredients to flatten it out. Using a wide
funnel is also recommended. Once everything is added, put on the lid
and the ring. You are good to go! It’s easiest to combine removing the
marshmallows and stirring from the bottom with a chopstick. When it’s
mostly integrated, add the marshmallows back in stages to distribute
them through as well.
