Hot Chocolate Kit Instructions

Bottles or Tubes– you can purchase the tubes with metal caps on Amazon. Or use any shape container.

Glue or Glue Dots – I like using glue dots when working with small items, like attaching the ribbon, because then I don’t burn my fingers with the hot glue gun, but you can certainly use that if you like.

Ribbon or Twine – anything you like, any size you like

Rubber Bands – you don’t have to have these, but it did make it easier to hold the bottles together.

Ornaments or Decorations – decorate your Hot Chocolate Kit any way you like.

Hot Chocolate Kit Ingredients

Hot Chocolate Mix – you can buy store bought packets, or make your own.

Mini Marshmallows – you can also get coloured marshmallows.

Candy – any variety you like – but make them colourful.

Peppermint Balls or Sticks – you could also use candy canes and crush them.

Any other items like shortbread sticks, smarties , jelly beans, infact anything that will fit into the container you choose.

Now it’s time to fill the bottles. wash the bottles first, the dish washer is best so they are sterilized.

So you can have instant hot chocolate mix in one tube, marshmallows in another, maybe shortbread in one and candy in another. Then hold them all together with elastic band and dress with ribbon and twine to cover the elastic band and any other decoration you would like.
