    Hello there! It’s Ginger from GingerSnapCrafts.com, & I am so excited to be back here at Design Dazzle. I always love visiting with all of you! I’m usually over at my blog sharing a fun craft, my latest DIY project, a yummy recipe or a fun craft to do with you kiddos ~ like these adorable hot cocoa in a cute reindeer jar gift idea. These are perfect for your kiddos to give to their friends & teachers. I’m also going to give you the BEST hot cocoa mix recipe! Yum! So let’s get started!

    hot cocoa supplies

    First you’ll need to gather a few supplies:
    jars (I found these at Target in their party section.)
    red gumballs or pom poms
    wiggly eyes
    kraft paper (I used my Silhouette to cut the antlers & ears.)
    hot glue gun & glue sticks

    To make the hot cocoa mix I put two heaping tablespoons of hot cocoa mix in the jar.

    Then one tablespoon of vanilla creamer went right on top!

    Then I filled the jar to the top with mini marshmallows & 2 Hershey Kisses.

    Then I repeated these steps until all of my jars were filled. Each jar will make one serving of hot cocoa. Just add the ingredients to a glass of warm milk or water & stir.

    Next, I used a hot glue gun (a parent’s job!) to attach the cute little face & the antlers & ears.

        I’m not sure if you can purchase these at Target. You can get them at Amazon https://amzn.to/2XobRu1 (aff link). Sorry for the late response.
