Ready for a really cute winter treat that is surprisingly easy to make? Let me introduce you to Hot Cocoa Pudding Mugs…
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…
If you think these are fun, make sure to try my Hot Chocolate Brownie Cups as well!

I want to try the chocolate caramel torte – sound delish!
I made the Halloween jigglers and the kids loved them, and I know they will love these too.
the chocolate mugs! so cute!
I forgot that you can incorporate jello in cooking and other dessert making. I like the Raspberry Glace Cheesecake Pie. It reminds me of something I made years ago out of my mother in laws old BHG cookbook from the 70s.
Just saw rice Krispy treats with peppermint jello pudding!!!
I would probably start out with the Chocolate Elf Bites.
Thank you!
