Hot Chocolate Cones

This is a little piece of heaven that my sister told me about, because "Baby, It's Cold Out There." That is the Christmas song that keeps getting stuck in my brain this year. Oh sure, I can't even remember my own children's names, but I have room for useless lyrics to adhere to my cortexes without difficulty. One of life's ironies no doubt. I think I will go drown my frustrations in hot chocolate and go curl into a nice warm...book.

A perennial winter favorite, hot cocoa with all the trimmings (mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and a cherry-red gumdrop) sports an even sweeter look packaged as a cone. This makes a great gift for babysitters, teachers, and neighbors. Be sure to add a tag letting your recipients know the cone contains enough for four servings.

Ingredients
3/4 cup cocoa mix
2 (6- by 12-inch) cone-shaped cellophane bags (available at party stores)
2 clear rubber bands (we used ponytail holders)
Scissors
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
3/4 cup mini marshmallows
1 large red gumdrop

Instructions
Pour the cocoa mix into one of the bags. Close the bag with a clear rubber band, then trim the end of the bag 1 inch above the band.

Place the cocoa-filled bag into the second bag and flatten its top so the end doesn't stick up.

Layer the chocolate chips and the marshmallows, then top with the gumdrop. Secure the bag with the other rubber band.
