🎁 Step‑by‑Step Instructions

1. Prepare your baubles

Open each clear bauble and make sure it’s clean and dry. Moisture will cause the cocoa to clump.

2. Add the hot chocolate mix

Use a small funnel to fill the bottom half of the bauble with cocoa powder. (Approx. 2–3 tablespoons per bauble.)

3. Add marshmallows and sprinkles

Layer mini marshmallows on top, followed by festive sprinkles for colour.

4. Seal and decorate

Close the bauble securely, then tie ribbon or twine around the top. Add a gift tag if you’re giving them as presents.

5. How to use

Pour the contents into a mug, add hot milk, stir and enjoy.
