Hot Cocoa Sticks

This is seriously the best hot cocoa sticks ever. I make these every Christmas time and give out as gifts to family and friends. Usually, I like to give these with my Christmas candy I make and my homemade fudge. Yearly, we sell these for $1.00 per 2 sticks at the church bake sell and they sell out fast! You can fit 2 sticks in each bag or leave the sticks off and just put the cocoa squares in there. 4/$1.00 is a good price for the bake sale too (without the sticks). You Will Need: 18 Oz. Milk Chocolate Chips 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream, warmed 1 1/2 Cup Hot Cocoa Mix Molds Toppings ( Mini Marshmallows , Peppermint) You have got to try these out!
