Remove the stopper and wash the ornament. Let it dry completely; consider leaving it overnight.
-
-
Using a small, clean funnel, add the hot chocolate powder to the ornament.
-
-
Using a hammer, crush the peppermint hard candies in their wrappers. Open the candies and scoop the crushed peppermint pieces into the ornament using a spoon and the funnel.
-
-
Mix your sprinkles together, and add them to the ornament. Add chocolate chips on top.
-
-
Pop mini marshmallows into the ornament. You may have to weed out some of the larger marshmallows. Remember, if they’re hard to get in, they’ll be hard to get out.
-
-
Replace the ornament’s top. Add a tag reminding your friends to shake out the mix and add 8 ounces hot water or milk.
