I've got you! I'll email it right to you. Plus you’ll get delicious new recipes from me each week.

This recipe is from Jell-O, and while they look a bit challenging to create, I promise you they are super simple. These would be so fun to serve at a party.

Jell-O even gives you a recipe option to create an “adult” version of these using some creme de cocoa or peppermint schnapps.

I had photos of the “how to” for this recipe, but unfortunately my memory card decided it was time to bid me farewell, and thus those pics are lost in a digital never never land (thankfully I was at least able to take new pics of the end result). But, luck have it, Jell-O has an AWESOME step by step video to walk you through this…

See, surprisingly simple. While they used shot glasses to create theirs, I actually ended up using a mini cheesecake pan for mine. This gave me 12 perfect hot cocoa mugs. And yes, they do pop right out, exactly as shown in the video. I was a bit worried they might stick or be difficult to get out but nope, not at all.

If you think these are fun, make sure to try my Hot Chocolate Brownie Cups as well!
