How to Store the Homemade Hot Chocolate Gift Jars

You can make your Homemade Hot Chocolate mix ahead of time and keep it stored for days when you would like to have a nice hot cup of this comforting beverage. 

The best way to store the mixture is to prepare it first and then place it in a sealed container. 

Using a glass mason jar or a plastic container with an airtight lid works too. You simply need to make sure the lid attaches tightly to the container to keep it sealed while preventing anything from getting inside of it. 

Storing it in one of the cabinets in your kitchen is a great option, having quick access to it when someone in the house asks you for a cup of warm hot chocolate. 

Personalizing it makes it so fun! You can add more ingredients like added crushed peppermint candies to give it that chocolate mint taste that many people enjoy.
