a budget christmas

(spoiler alert! okay, if you normally come to our house for christmas, don't read this one, because you will be getting this for your gift!)
okay! so we are on a super-tight budget this year, so i am making homemade hot cocoa mix (in a jar!) and homemade marshmallows for everybody this year. and as a gift to YOU, my invisible pretend internet pals, i give you this label design to slap on a jar (fits avery labels #8164) plus my OWN fabulous hot chocolate recipe. all i ask is that you link back to my blog or mention me frequently in conversation or send me good vibes or something.
tina's super rich homemade hot cocoa mix
4 cups nonfat dry milk powder
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup "best quality you can afford"unsweetened cocoa
(the dark chocolate kind is best)
1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup powdered nondairy creamer
1 cup malt powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
dump it all in a big bowl and mix thoroughly. it's 1/2 cup mix (8 tablespoons) per one mug hot water. this makes about 9 cups mix, or enough to nearly fill 3 one-quart jars.
this also makes a very nice hostess gift...unless you are coming to my house, 'cause i'm dishing it out!
also, dear friends in the los angeles area who want to send me a present: next time you go to hollywood & highland, please check if there is still a mold-a-rama machine outside of the chinese theatre. if there is, please buy me one & mail it to your old pal tina.
