But how can you store it for future use?

This is where SKS Bottle and Packaging comes in handy.

But what is SKS Bottling and Packaging?

They even offer over 6,000 containers and closures online. Plus, they don’t only carry clear colored bottles and jars. Therefore, they also sell blue, amber, and green colored bottles and jars. An added bonus is each has an assortment of closure styles, too. Most of their products are made in the USA, as well as are 100% recyclable.

Still what does this have to do with Hot Chocolate?

See for my world’s famous Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate Mix, I happen to use SKS Clear Glass Mason Jars. Many who follow my blog also know that I love Mason Jars for all sorts of projects. These would include for gifting Valentine Treats, as well as Holiday Gifting, too.

For all these types of Mason Jar ideas, I use SKS Clear Glass Mason Jars. Why? Because they are available in two sizes with a 2 piece silver plastisol lined canning lid. Still why do I love the plastisol lined canning lid? Because the plastisol lined lid creates a tamper evident hermetic seal with the mason jars. How? It does this when it is activated by heat.

      Kelly, thank you so much for saying that. I had so much fun putting this jar together and photographing it here, too. So, hearing kind words about my photography of this one means the world to me 🙂

    WOWOOWOWOWOWOW! How good and yummy IS THIS!? I have a friend who’s birthday is tomorrow and I’m going to the store in a little while, so…I may have to make one of these!
    Now for printing that label as well as you did…what kind of paper did you use? It looks translucent.
    And since I’m doing the plant-based thing this month, I may sub in some other type of yummy powder, but still. WOWOWOWOW!!
    I hope you have a fabulous week, sweet friend! Keep on with these amazing posts! <3

    • Janine says

      Aw, thank you so much Cyndi!! I used sticky printable paper for the label. I have a Canon printer, because Kevin works for Canon as you know. So all I can tell you it was compatible with my printer. As for the gifting, I love that you would use this to gift to your friend and your idea now, too!! Wishing you a fabulous week, as well once again now <3

    I’ve made Hot chocolate in a jar but I’ve never thought to make pumpkin spice hot chocolate. I love this idea! The layering in the mason jar is so appealing and fun to create. I use tons of Mason Jars for DIY Christmas presents. I’m going to check out SKS. Thanks for sharing Janine 😉

  13. Shelby says

    Would you please let me know if it could be put in Crock-Pot and if using by the cup do you know how many cups you get out of one jar,wanting to make sure I give enough jar’s so my friends big family could enjoy this.

    • Janine says

      I will be honest, I never tried this in the crockpot, but don’t see why you couldn’t. I have an instant pot here that has many different options. So, I would say it could be a possibility. As for the amount of cups, I think it depends on how much mix you’d like to use for each cup (depending on how sweet you like). I would say you could get possibility up to three cups if you didn’t like it as sweet. But I’d say more like two if you like it sweeter.

  18. Sharlene Immel says

    This looks good and I’d like to try it. My question is this….You are using a 16 oz jar which would be the equivalent of 2 cups. Yet the mix recipe makes about 6 cups of the mix. So does this recipe make enough for 3 jars?

  19. Rosey says

    Good tip on the jars. I love this idea for a gift to the teachers in my immediate area. They’re always bringing cool things in to share. This would be a good one to give right before Thanksgiving break!

  22. Jodi says

    This is an awesome recipe! I have been searching for a recipe like this for ages! I didn’t see the measurements per cup until after I made half a batch and served it to two friends. It was a little on the weak side but only because I didn’t use enough of the mix per cup! I don’t have access to pumpkin spice chips but happened to have cinnamon chips and they gave it a really great taste. Can’t wait to make another cup tomorrow with the proper amount of mix.
    Thank you so much for this recipe!!
