The countdown for Christmas has well and truly begun in our household, and we are getting prepped with some fun & delicous edible homemade Christmas Gift Ideas.
Homemade gifts are a fantastic idea at Christmas, and it makes the gift that extra special.
Christmas gifts made with love.
Homemade edible gifts make for a perfect gift for anyone. A family member, friend, work colleague, your child's teacher, your neighbour or even your friendly postman. Whoever it is we're sure they would appreciate a delicious homemade gift.
This homemade Gingerbread Hot Chocolate Powder makes for a delicious Christmas gift, I mean, who doesn't enjoy a nice warm mug of Hot Chocolate at Christmas...
This recipe is adaptable and can be tweaked to your taste. If you're not too keen on Gingerbread flavour, then simply leave the ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg out, and you will be left with a delicious, regular hot chocolate powder.
This homemade hot chocolate powder comes together in a matter of minutes, and all you have to do is put it in a cute glass container, and then decorate, if you choose.
We kept the decorating simple, and adding a homemade cardboard gift tag. Attached it with some twine, and added a Christmas ornament, and a couple pieces of cinnamon sticks.
We absolutely love making homemade gifts, especially at Christmas time, and we think this homemade Gingerbread Hot Chocolate Powder will make a delightful gift for someone this Christmas.
Happy Creating!

INGREDIENTS
2x cups of Milk Powder
1 & 1/4 cups of Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1x cup of Icing Sugar
1x cup of Golden Granulated Sugar
2x heaped tsp of Corn Flour
4x heaped tsp of Ground Ginger
2x heaped tsp of Ground Cinnamon
1x tsp of Ground Nutmeg
METHOD
Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl, and thoroughly combine with a spoon.
Once thoroughly mixed you can go ahead and put it into an airtight storage container.
How to make the hot chocolate
Add 4 heaped tbsp to your favourite Christmas mug, and add a dash of boiled water. Stir into a paste, and then top with hot water.
Alternatively, once you've added a dash of hot water and created your paste, you could then top with hot milk.
There is milk powder in the blend, so we find it thoroughly enjoyable making it with just hot water.
Serve as it is, or top with some whipped cream, mini marshmallows and a mini gingerbread man.
Enjoy!
