Santa Soup

The season of giving has arrived, and I don't know about you but as much as I love receiving I truly love giving. I have caved twice already and given my boyfriend Chris 2 presents on 2 different occasions because I just could not wait till the Christmas morning. Now, I don't have children so I don't have teachers, nanny's or sitters to shop for but I do have neighbors!!! Chris and I truly lucked out with the neighbors we have. Everyone is so down to earth, fun and just good people. Two of the families have children so I thought what would both kids and adults love that always puts them into the holiday spirit...... Well of course, Santa Soup..... aka Hot Coco. This is such a great, easy gift that is fun to make and fun to give. I mean who doesn't like Hot Coco?

Lets get started.......

Materials:
Swiss Miss.... A lot (or any other hot coco mix)
Mini marshmallows
Mini chocolate chips
Peppermint Candy Canes (chopped up in to little pieces)
Home made labels (both Happy Holidays label and Santa Soup label)
Ribbon
Container ( I used decorative Chinese take-out containers, preferably clear)


I started by setting everything up in the order in which the Santa Soup was going to be built. (It makes it much easier)

I then took the container and started building.....

First the Hot Coco mix

Then the marshmallows

I bagged each item in treat bags (bags can be purchased at any craft store) and secured the seal with staples

Than goes the mini chocolate chips and the chopped candy cane

4 square

Add the tags and labels with a little ribbon and glue

And now you have Santa Soup

Happy Giving!
