HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE HOT COCOA MIX
Mix all ingredients well in a bowl–I used a whisk.
For each cocoa cone you will need:
- 2 cone shaped baggies–can use cake piping or decorating bags
- 1/2 cup of cocoa mix
- 1/4 cup of chocolate chips or crushed candy canes. We used the holiday green mint chips.
- 1/4 cup or more of mini marshmallows
- mashed up candy cane- optional
You can make two separate compartments to preserve toppings or just put everything in one cone shaped bag.
If using two baggies, place one cone baggie into a tall cup or just roll down half of the baggie. Add the cocoa mix and tie with the twist tie.
Cut off the excess bag on top and then add to the other baggie.
Here we just added everything to one baggie. Top off with chocolate chips and marshmallows. This way is a little messier.
Twist tightly and use a cute ribbon to close off.
Make sure and make a tag with the directions. Feel free to use this DIY Hot Cocoa Cones & Free Printable
Printable DIRECTIONS FOR THE CONES:
Add 4 tbs cocoa mix to 8 ounces of hot water.
Mix and add toppings as desired. You can also adorn the package with a candy cane.
The mix can get messy but your kids are going to love adding the toppings to the “ice cream cones”. Just be sure you have the right to clean up tools on hand.
If you have the right tools on at home, cleaning up holiday crafts and rec
ipes is a breeze like these Cookie Exchange Ideas.

I had some wax from another project and you can use the scrub side to get up stuck on gunk.

I copied the recipe for Hot Cocoa cones but couldn’t find where the printable label for it. VERY FRUSTRATING!
This is absolutely a cute idea and I want this as a gift. Glad you share this with us.
These would make a great Christmas gift for the many relatives I have that I can not always buy or. My kiddos would enjoy finding them in their stockings, as well.
That is such a cute idea! I love this for teacher and other gifts. It would be fun to make these for a party as a favor and hang them all on a small tree for guests to take home! #client
What a super yummy treat idea with easy cleanup! That’s great, I think I will make some of these hot cocoa cones for Christmas gifts!
What adorable gift ideas! I need to make these for teacher gifts – like how easy they are.
The Candy Cane Soup/cones are such a great way to give something small but sweet to teachers or neighbors or friends. I love how easy it is to put these together.
These are such a cute idea for teacher’s gifts!
Omg how cute are these cones?!?! I bet my daughter would love to make these with me!!!!
Homemade gifts are the best IMO. They are thoughtful and you know the giver took time to make them for you! This is a great idea. I usually stick to cookies and cupcakes but I’m thinking this might be it this year. Time to change things up 🙂
