Hot Chocolate Gift Basket Idea With Recipe

I am making a gift basket of homemade goodies for my neighbor that recently gave me pears. This best hot chocolate recipe is the perfect gift for the hot chocolate season it’s way better than anything like Swiss Miss. I mean, who doesn’t love a yummy cup of hot cocoa.

Unfortunately, I did not realize that my daughter had eaten over half of the pears before making this Hot Cocoa mix recipe video. I am hoping to be still able to make my pear jam.

Luckily, she didn’t eat the ingredients for the hot chocolate lol!
