Here's a great gift idea appropriate for almost anybody on your list - friend, grandparents, teacher or bus driver. They'll appreciate it during the January freeze, says Tina Miller, Meijer Healthy Living Advisor.

Mix the cocoa, and other dry ingredients in a snack size zip-lock baggie.   In a separate snack baggie, place some miniature marshmallows.  Cut out the directions below, roll up (like a small scroll) and tie with a festive ribbon.  Insert all 3 items in a large holiday china or travel (thermal) mug.  An optional addition would be a wrapped candy cane or old-fashioned cinnamon candy stick as a festive stirrer.  Place in a gift bag and you're done!
