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! 

Brownie Mix

This is my favorite mix to make as I hate, with a passion, buying box mixes but it is so difficult and inconvenient to make it when you are in a rush; it sucks! This mix can be stored for up to 6 months as along as you place it in an air tight container and in a cool dark area of your house (pantry is perfect). I forgot to picture my organic sugar, but nonetheless it is pictured below. I hope you enjoy these brownies as much as we do.
You Will Need:
6 Cups Flour
8 Cups Sugar
2 Cups Cocoa Powder
2 tbsp Powder
1 tbsp Salt
To Make:
2 1/4 Cup Brownie Mix
2 Eggs
1/3 Cup Butter, melted
2 tsp Vanilla

Add baking powder to cocoa powder
Add flour, sugar, salt
Optional, you can add in chocolate chips
Mix everything together
Will last up to 6 months stored in an air tight container
**To Cook:
**Mix all the ingredients in your stand mixer or with an electric mixer. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick insert comes out clean. {You can add more mini soy-free chocolate chips before baking. Also, add homemade mini marshmallows}. Allow to cool completely, then cut and top with homemade vanilla ice cream! YUM! (or serve it warm with the ice cream, now that is my favorite!)
