Christmas Hot Cocoa

We went to the park today, despite the super chilly temperatures. We were there for not super long, but long enough that the boys were super chilly. We stopped for some hot cocoa, and then walked around Target while we drank it. Darth kept telling every person walking by that he was drinking coffee, hopefully nobody believed him! But then we saw this 'photo booth' in the Christmas section of Target, and he wanted a picture.

He looks so tiny! But he loves his hot cocoa!

Hot Chocolate Cones

For my card swap club, I have to make a neighbor gift for one of the cards. This year, I tried something new. I made hot chocolate cones. You know what I'm taking about, here's a pic:
It was actually super easy too. Let me tell you how I did them. You'll need (this is to make 8 cones):
16 frosting bags, 12 inches
Hot cocoa mix (I can't remember how much it was, but I used like, 12 of the small individual sized bags and that was enough)
Bag of mini marshmallows
Bag of chocolate chips
Ribbon/tulle
Clear rubber bands (I definitely used hair bands here, they work)

Ok in one of the frosting bags, put 4 TB of hot cocoa mix. Then cut off the excess bag, and secure the top with a rubber band. Put this cocoa cone into a new frosting bag, making sure the seams line up. Add 1/4 cup of chocolate chips, and then 1/4 cup of mini marshmallows. Twist the bag, and then secure with a rubber band, and then cover that up with a pretty ribbon of your choosing. There was a choice of maybe making this look like a reindeer, but I didn't want to deal with all of that, so just FYI you could.
Anyway, I was pretty jazzed with how these turned out, and I'm glad it was much easier than I anticipated!
