Cappuccino in a Jar

I have made this recipe many times for Christmas gifts…you know the one you want to buy them something but don’t know what and don’t want to spend too much money. One recipe make 2 -12 oz. jar. You can also put it in smaller jars. Just buy a pretty jar, dress it up with jazzy material and ribbons. Ho-Ho-Ho Merry Christmas or Happy Happy Birthday! Consider using sugar substitutes for weight conscious or diabetic friends or cousins.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup instant coffee granules your choice flavor
  • 1 cups powdered non-dairy creamer
  • 1 cup powdered chocolate drink mix
  • 1/2 cup sugar or Splenda or Equal equivalent
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Put instant coffee and vanilla into a food processor; process to a very fine powder. In a large bowl, combine creamer (Cremora works best), chocolate mix, instant coffee, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir together until well mixed. Spoon into two 12 ounce jars.
