Here is Langan's recipe for jingle jars of hot chocolate mix:

Yield: 4 8-ounce Mason jars (4 servings per jar)

To make one serving, pour 1 cup of milk into a small saucepan and add 3 generous tablespoons of hot chocolate mix. Bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking all the while. Remove from heat and pour into your favorite mug and top with homemade marshmallows.

For the hot chocolate mix:

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup cocoa powder

6 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate

1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

In a food processor, blend all the ingredients until smooth. Divide mixture between 4, 8-ounce mason jars and affix lids.
