Who doesn’t like having a cup of hot chocolate in cold winter?

Hot chocolate mix is a great option for gift in winter time. The homemade mix can be fully personalized for each person and it is so easy to make that your child can make one, too!

If you want to make a gift with your child or if you just want to make a great winter memory with your child, try this activity at home.

1. Prepare ingredients

hot chocolate powder, shaved chocolates, crushed chocolates and crushed candy canes.

For shaved chocolate , I used a block chocolate and a vegetable peeler. I made with a milk chocolate block and a white chocolate block. This part might be a little hard for young children. In that case, try making crushed chocolate.

To make crushed chocolate, place a block of chocolate on a cutting board and chop it with a knife. Children can use a wavy chopper for this.

Candy cane can be broken easily by hands.

2. Prepare a container/jar

Any kind of jar that you want to use. Mason jar is a good option.

3. Set up the ingredients

4. Have a funnel and spoon ready.

Let your child fill the jar with different ingredients. Put them in order, one at a time.

I made three recipe cards that children in my workshop can see and make the mix by themselves 😎. You can make your own recipe cards with some pictures like this.
