Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix & Peppermint Marshmallows

December 18, 2013 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I absolutely love making things from scratch. When My boyfriend, Matt, and I were living our year without plastic (single use disposables & packaging) we had to make a lot of things from scratch. It’s such an adventure trying to figure out ways to do things. Sometimes you’d be surprised at how easy most things are to do from scratch.
That being said, Matt and I had to create all these christmas gifts for our family and friends sans plastic. This hot chocolate & Marshmallow duo quickly became popular as it was fairly easy and very impressive.

Here it is ๐Ÿ™‚
