School Christmas Treats

I've been making quite a few Christmas treats for school lately.  First my daughter's last day of preschool until January was yesterday so I made some homemade hot cocoa mix for her to take to her teacher and all her teacher aides.  I used this Peppermint Hot Cocoa Mix but also added marshmallows.

 For the teacher aides I did two servings in sandwich bags.  For her teacher I did 6 servings in a canning jar.  I made some fun bag toppers for the sandwich bags.  I also made a fun jar wrap and hang tag for the jarred mix.  It was a lot of fun to make this fun hybrid project.  I had bought this I Love Cocoa set last year and hadn't had a chance to use it yet and it turned out to be just perfect for this project!

Also later today I'm going to read a Christmas story in my son, Christopher's, 2nd grade class and I'm supposed to bring a treat for them to go a long with the story.  Well I'm reading them the story, "Auntie Claus and the Key to Christmas" because it's about a little boy named Chris Kringle.  So, I made some chocolate dipped candy cane sticks to give to his class.

These were a fun quick project and I love how festive they are!  I wrapped them in plastic wrap that I tied with a little curling ribbon to protect the chocolate because they are going in the kids school stockings.  I'm looking forward to reading to his class and I'm sure it will be a lot of fun!
