When it's a jar!

These Christmas gifts were easy and fun to make with stuff that’s easy to find. The cocoa mix in the jars is 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa, 1 cup granulated sugar and 3 cups fat-free powdered milk. Add or subtract sugar to taste. Add a couple of tablespoons to a cup of hot milk.

For the jars, I used regular canning jars (no need to sterilize — just clean them out well). The lids are painted green, with wrapping paper adhered to the removable center. Silver bows tied the candy canes to the lids.
