Ingredients
For 4 (8-ounce) jelly jars with lids:
- 2 cups cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Create beautiful layered jars by dividing each ingredient into four equal portions. In each jar, layer 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 cup marshmallows. Repeat these layers until all jars are filled and ingredients are used. Secure the lids tightly and label each jar with these preparation instructions for easy gifting or storage.
- To prepare a delicious serving, remove the marshmallows from the jar and set them aside on a plate. Mix the remaining dry ingredients thoroughly to combine the cocoa, sugar, and cinnamon. Warm 1 cup of milk over low heat until it simmers gently. Add 3 tablespoons of the hot cocoa mix and stir until fully dissolved and smooth. Pour the rich mixture into your favorite mug and top with the marshmallows for a cozy, comforting treat.
