Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix

The secret ingredient in this mix is the mini chocolate chips, which melt when combined with the boiling water and give the cocoa an extra-rich flavor. This recipe makes enough hot chocolate mix for four homemade christmas gifts, each of which can be measured into a small plastic bag and tucked into a cup or mug filled with mini marshmallows and a spoon. Wrap each filled gift cup in cellophane and include a tag with the following instructions: "Spoon 3 or 4 generous tablespoons of cocoa mix into a cup, add hot milk or boiling water, and stir well."
