Nothing reminds me more of Christmas than candy cane hot chocolate! It is one of my favorite Christmas treats and I always buy a big cup of it when I am out Christmas shopping. So…I thought that it would be fun to set a little hot cocoa bar up in our house…
I purchased the jars and basket awhile ago from DecorSteals and have been waiting to do something with them. They worked perfect for holding crushed candy canes, hot cocoa powder, and marshmallows.
I printed out some tags {you can download mine here}, matted them on scrapbook paper and tied them around the jars with some baker’s twine.
I had a lot of fun creating the little chalkboard sign. I painted a wooden rectangle that I purchased from Michaels with chalk board paint and used a chalk pen to draw on the details. It’s kind of addictive!
Now all that’s left is to sit and enjoy!
{The printables can be downloaded here. You will just need to punch them out with a circle punch}
I LOVE this idea. There’s nothing better than hot cocoa and peppermint together!
I can’t even say how much I loved this idea! This is so pretty, love every detail that went into it ^^
Now since it’s Spring where I live if I were to attempt this, I had to make it more warm weather appropriate haha I’d have to use tea and herbs, the candy can stay : 9
Oh and I’d have to keep a bucket of ice cubes at hand : )
Seriously, great idea Jenn xx
I love it Jenn! So pretty & practical for this time of year. We have had snow here for about 3 weeks, so we are def in hot choc season here! Angie xo
Those are gorgeous!!!
I love your chalkboard design. So cute!

Good Morning Jenn, What a lovely idea. The weather is cold and miserable at the moment, so this is an ideal time to set up my own cocoa station. I will be out and about hunting for lovely containers like yours. My little nephew will love to make cocoa when he visits. I found you via Yvonne at Stonegable and have become a new follower. Best Wishes from England, Daphne
Great idea! My hot cocoa has already parked itself by my tea kettle for the season, but this is such a prettier way to “display” it.

What a fun idea! I love the jars!
We’re following your lead at my daughter’s bday party this weekend.
How cute! Your hot chocolate station looks great and so yummy!
This is such a fun idea and the jars and basket are AMAZING! I see similar containers at the store but I can never think of a craft to use them for – something like this would be great!
I am IN LOVE with this. I NEED to make myself one of these! YUM, in fact I may need some hot coco right now!

This is one of the cutest Hot Cocoa Bars I have ever seen! I love the basket and the jars and the labels.. well everything. Love!
This would make such a cute gift too!
Thanks for linking up! I featured your post in my wrap up http://tidymom.net/2012/unique-ideas-for-christmas/
Have a great rest of the weekend.
Thanks so much for linking to Make the Scene Monday @ Alderberry Hill. You are being featured later this evening!
Have a fantastic week ahead!
LOVe this, and that carrier and the bottles are adorable!!!! need some! I was featured alongside you at the fabulous tidymom (I had the christmas tree bread). Excited to look around your site!
ok, I’m now obsessed and looking for those bottles/the carrier. I saw you got it on a deal site, but do you have the info of the shop that sold it to you?
Such a pretty idea for a cocoa bar, Jenn! I like mine with marshmallows, too 🙂
I am so in love with this idea! We could enjoy hot cocoa everyday with a set up like this. I would want to at least, but my self restraint would most definitely kick in.
I love this idea…would make a nice gift too!
Such a cute idea! I love how you put the cocoa in a glass jar. Thanks for sharing your printable.
Where did you get the bottles and containers?
I got them at Decor Steals, which is a daily deal site. Here are some similar ones: http://www.amazon.com/Antique-Style-Wire-Basket-Bottles-Decor/dp/B005AL12BK
LOVE this super cute idea!! It would be an awesome seasonal gift, as well! I have a question though… Is it difficult to scoop out the hot cocoa powder from those jars? It seems like the mouth of the jar is too small to get a spoon in there. However, it could be an illusion.
Yes, it does get a little tricky to scoop when it gets down to the bottom but I just shake it loose, turn it more on its side and then scoop away! 🙂
Jenn,
I love your posts! So creative! Thank you for sharing! 😊
