How to make reindeer hot chocolate Christmas ornaments.

Remove the top of the clear ornament.

Combine the hot chocolate mix and mini marshmallows in a large jug. Using a funnel, slowly add the hot chocolate mix into the clear ornament until filled just below the top. Place the top back on the ornament.

Using the glue attach the pom pom nose and googly eyes.  Twist a brown pipe cleaner into the shape of antlers around the top.

Tip: Don’t forget to include a note letting the recipient know that the ornament contains hot chocolate and mini marshmallows.

My kids would’ve loved this for Christmas, not just because it was cocoa, but because it’s adorable and… Rudolph would’ve been even better… I know what I’m doing next year !!!!!! Thank you for the great craft!
