My daughter and I took a few minutes out of our busy weekend to whip up some very fun and yummy Christmas treats for the family. My daughter loves to make things crafts, food, you name it. So when I saw the recipe/craft for this DIY Peppermint Hot Cocoa Jar I knew it would be something quick and easy for us to make and something everyone would appreciate.

Grab a few mason jars, some hot cocoa mix, peppermint candies, chocolate chips, and marshmallows for this tasty treat.
