Hot Chocolate on a Stick Gift Bags

This project is week 3 in the Dare to DIY Series: give handmade.
A couple of years ago I made similar gift bags as party favors at my Tacky Christmas Sweater Party. I decided to make a batch again this year for party favors, and to hand out as little gifts to the mailman, neighbors, etc.
To begin, I made this recipe for cocoa blocks from the King Arthur Flour website. I followed the recipe as written, except instead of switching on and off from the stove top, I did all the melting using the double-boiler method.
To make the hot chocolate cubes into hot chocolate on a stick gift bags, you just need a few more items.
Cello bags, lollipop sticks, marshmallows and ribbon.
Insert lollipop sticks into each cube.
Put a handful of marshmallows in the bottom of the cello bag. Place 2-3 hot chocolate cubes on top, and tie the bag closed with festive ribbon. I chose this reindeer sweater inspired ribbon to go with my party theme.
To serve, stir one block into a cup of hot milk.
When it’s dissolved, add marshmallows, and enjoy!

Mmm, sounds good. Love the ribbon too. Thanks for joining the Dare to DIY!
They’re pretty darn good. Even if you just eat one right off the stick… not that I tried that.
What a fun idea! And it sounds yummy!
