Cappuccino Mix in a Jar
Looking for a unique Gift in a Jar idea? We make this for those that would not like cookies. This is wonderful just mixed with hot water, but it also makes the best Mocha if you mix a little in your coffee.
Ingredients:
1 quart canning jar with band and lid
1/2 teaspoon – ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon – ground nutmeg
1 cup – instant coffee creamer
1/2 cup – Granulated Sugar (we have used sweeteners too)
1 cup – instant chocolate drink powder (or hot chocolate packets)
3/4 cup – instant coffee crystals
1/4 to 1/2 cup – mini chocolate chips (enough to fill remaining space in jar)
Directions:
In small bowl, mix cinnamon and nutmeg with instant coffee crystals
Start layering each item making sure to pack down between layers – sugar, coffee creamer, instant chocolate drink mix, instant coffee mixture
Add chocolate chips to top layer to fill the remaining space in jar
Seal jar tightly, be careful not to shake the jar
Print or write label with the following directions and attach to the jar
To Make Cappuccino:
Slowly dump contents of jar into a large bowl and whisk to combine before pour back into the jar
To prepare a medium mug of Cappuccino, add 3 Tablespoons of the cappuccino mix into a mug with 8 oz. of hot water. Stir well to dissolve mixture.
Top with whipped cream if desired.

That’s a good idea. I like it much better than cookie or cake mixes. I’m not much of a baker. I do enjoy a cup of cappuccino.
I think I will add a hand full of marshmallows in decorative cellophane on top. This is such a lovely gift idea , thank you .
This looks so cute!
This looks so sinful! I know it is meant to be a gift, but I don’t think it’d make it out of our kitchen!
I love the idea of putting a little of the mix in your coffee. It is easy enough to make, and the presentation is great. Thanks for sharing.
A cappuccino sounds quite good right now with a nice biscotti.
How cool. This would make a great hostess gift

I love this idea. Do you have any ideas for substituting the coffee creamer? I’m allergic to it.
I would love to make this for my sister. She would enjoy it.
I love this. You have some really great ideas for “in a jar” gifts, etc.

My sister loves cappuccino and spends a fortune buying it at Starbucks. I am going to make this for her. Thanks.

This should be labeled “In case of emergency-break glass” 🙂 This is really cool idea. Love 🙂
I am so going to make this as Valentine’s give-aways at work. This would also be great as a fundraiser.
This is such a cute idea. You could give it to people at the office – or to a teacher.
