Chocolate SPOONS & HOT CHOCOLATE BAR - free downloadable! IDEAS!

These are great for coffee or hot chocolate!

This year we did a hot chocolate bar for the teachers lounge and

also at our GINGERBREAD DECORATING PARTY

Free downloadable tag below

Turned out so cute!

Spoons, Wilton treat bags (same as marshmallow bags HERE) and ribbon.

I used wooden utensils to hold up the end of the spoons and they worked out to be the exact height needed. You could use a book or hand towel rolled up.

Melted chocolate candy melts (Same as HERE) and put in a ziplock and clipped the corner

SQUEEZE!

Sprinkles

Then let them dry. It really doesn't take long. I wouldn't recommend putting them in the refrigerator because they will get sticky. Learned that the hard way :/

Used Wilton bags (same as marshmallow bags HERE)

Ribbon and TA-DAAAA!!!

These were some of the supplies I used for the teacher Hot Chocolate Bar

This was easy and something to show our appreciation! Since my son is in student council I always put all our treats from the whole group. The little tag says "Whisk and Serve" From: Student Council

Here is an AWESOME hot chocolate recipe

Who doesn't love muffins?

Super cute, right!?

I made everything with school colors - Black & Red

First to pick out the mini baking cups.

Made a batch of banana chocolate chip mini muffins....yummmmm!

Used the same little bags as with the MARSHMALLOW post

Made little tags that say, "There's "muffin" like a great teacher! Thank you for being you!"

I was determined to upcycle these egg cartons so my first idea was to cover up the text with cardstock. It ended up still showing and I needed to cover the back....ugh! Too much work!

NEXT IDEA.....

I wrapped a plastic bag around the bottom and inside

Then spray paint them. SO QUICK AND EASY!

The inside is free of any spray paint (wouldn't want the muffins to absorb that smell)

Filled with muffins! Perfect fit!

For the outside I took scrapbooking paper (thick glitter page I found on sale)

Measured and cut

Rounded the edges

Keeping with the Red and Black color theme I added a little red glitter paper and a personalized tag on the outside.

Love how they turned out!

On the inside I cut the cute little sayings and placed them inside

TA-DA!

Also made one box for the receptionist

And one for a friend :)

I put this post together really quick so if I left something out or you want more info just comment and I'll reply.

These muffins are awesome (and healthy) so I'll try to update with the recipe soon :)

Thank you for stopping by!

Cute jars with the cake baked in it! Tags say, "You are the icing on the cake! Thank you for being you!"

I love how these turned out and they were a huge hit with the teachers.

Divided the cake batter

Love this food color...so many colors. I used a 50% coupon I had for Michael's craft store to get this set.

Mixed my colors

Put them in ziplock bags and arranged the color. I clipped the corner to fill the jars (same in THIS post)

I removed the lids since they had a rubber edge and put all the jars in the dishwasher the night before. When done I dried and added each color carefully NOT to get it on the edge, inside of the jar, or the outside. It burns the jar making it look dirty. Using the ziplock bag made it easy and no mess.

Adding colors until I was done

I could fit 12 jars in a 9X12 baking pan with 1/4 inch of water in the pan. I filled all the jars just a little less then 1/2 but you can go up to 1/2. I just wanted to make sure I had room for the icing.
