I decided to make these little mason jar cocoas to give to my coworkers. I got the recipe from Pioneer Woman's "Care Package" show.  They turned out to be absolutely darling, but cost a lot more than I was expecting.  I made 24 of them and did the math - they're $3 each!  I'm glad I didn't realize that before I started, because I might have changed my mind and now that they're done I'm delighted with them.

Here's the recipe if anyone is interested:

4 oz Mason jars

Layer the following ingredients:

1 tbs granulated sugar

pinch of salt

2 tbs cocoa powder

2 tbs powdered milk

1 tbs shaved semi-sweet chocolate (I used a mint chocolate)

12 mini marshmallows

@house_cat.  I bet your co-workers will be delighted.  Are the directions included?

I wrote the directions on each tag, but it's simple - add to a mugful of boiling water and stir!

I think those are wonderful and would be honored and pleased to receive one. Very nice!

We had our company Christmas Party last night and there was one of these (but the 12 ounce mug with handle) at each table setting.  Had a metallic ribbon with instructions attached around the neck of each one and a mini bow on top

it looked really nice to see a room full of these

Those are so cute.   I've never seen those little jars.

That was the most expensive part of the project. I got them from Amazon and they were $50 for 24. If anyone finds them for less, please let me know.

Maybe it's just me but the picture does not appear to match the recipe?

EBay has several listings for the 4 ounce Mason jars for about $20.00 and free shipping, package of 12.

But they don’t look like the ones in the picture above. They are the cute little squatty kind. That would be nice as well.

We have a pastry/dessert shop in town and they sell little desserts in those jars and they are really cute!

@house_cat- do a search for "canning jars for jam", I found some for $7.99 for 12 for 4oz.  But I have to say, those look like 8 oz to me, which you can get for $8.99 for 12 and they are quilted!

They are really cute!
