Mason Jar Hot Chocolate with Free Custom Labels

Hot chocolate mason jar favors are so easy to make with this easy recipe and free printable custom gift tags.

Hot chocolate mason jar gift

We offer two versions: hot cocoa and mocha (with coffee). When making DIY wedding favors you might prefer to make mocha and when making party favors for kids the version without coffee will be more appropriate.

You can edit the printable gift tags. There are two designs available:

Recipes:

Hot chocolate in a mason jar recipe

1 part dry milk
1 part cocoa
1 part sugar
1 part chocolate chips
1 part marshmallows

Mocha in a mason jar recipe

1 part chocolate chips
1 part dry milk
1 part cocoa
1 part sugar
1/2 espresso powder

You can change the ratio if you prefer but keep the layers in this order or any other order that has dark then light then dark, etc.

You can also omit certain layers (such as the dry milk if you prefer to add fresh milk). If you do omit a layer try to arrange it so that you keep the contrast between the layers.

Milk Labels

Milk labels are a good solution for people who live in countries where milk is often sold in bags (such as Canada). It enables you to pour the milk into a glass bottle and still remember when it should be consumed by. It is also a good solution for those who make milk from powdered milk and like to prepare the milk in bottles. It’s a great way to serve milk when entertaining or at events.

It can also be used by those who prefer to make their kids chocolate milk themselves. They can use less sugar and healthier ingredients.

If you need milk labels for events such as a wedding, you might prefer our black and gold elegant version to this cute and colorful version.

I personally like my milk in a bottle. It is a fun and pretty way to store it.

I drink soy milk, my husband likes low-fat milk, and my kids drink full-fat milk, so the milk labels enable us to remember to label the milk. Each person has their own color to make it easier to distinguish between the bottles of milk.

Milk labels are also useful when entertaining for breakfast or coffee or for events when you want to serve milk that looks prettier than in a milk carton.

The labels can be personalized. If you don’t want to include a name, then just delete the name. You can also delete the “best by” date. If there is anything that you want to write on your label then feel free to add it. For example, you can write “Good morning!” or “Have a nice day!”.

We suggest laminating the label. That way you can use them over and over and just use a dry-erase marker to change the best-by date each time you refill the jar.

Don’t forget to take the label off when you put the milk bottle in the dishwasher between uses. You can print on waterproof labels if you have some.

Homemade Chocolate Milk

Ingredients:

4 cups of milk
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
3 tablespoons of sugar

Method:

Pour all ingredients into a blender and blend until the sugar has dissolved.
Pour into a milk bottle and make a cute chocolate milk label.
The chocolate milk can be used for about a week unless the milk expires before then.

I love making chocolate milk for my kids. It encourages them to drink milk, and it doesn’t have as much sugar as the commercial versions. Cocoa is also very healthy.

Overnight Oats with Custom Labels

I love overnight oats. They are so easy to make and fun to eat. Even though they only take a few minutes to make, I often find myself too busy or lazy to make them the night before I need them. I started making enough bottles for a week or two when I have the time. That way, each night, I choose the flavor that I want for the next morning and just add milk. I have lots of bottles in the pantry and I only add the dry ingredients. I’m very into making things in bulk since it is a huge time saver. If you do make them in bulk you will want to be able to recognize the flavor instantly. That’s why I created these custom labels for my overnight oats. I just put a label on the mason jar and that way even if I prepare the oats a few weeks later I will still remember what I put in the jar.

Overnight oats also make great gift boxes. The custom labels add a professional personalized look. The labels are available in many colors and styles.

I have a few friends who are very health conscious. I recently made them each an Easter gift basket with these bottles of overnight oats. They loved them!

How to make an overnight oats gift box

Fill them with oats according to the overnights oats recipe that you want to use.

I made a funnel with a piece of paper.

Decide which toppings you are going to add and create a custom label for each topping. Cut out each label.
Punch a hole at the top of each label and attach an elastic band.
