Valentine's Day is getting near, and my daughter's school Valentine's Day party is just around the corner. Mini Me will want to take a fun treat to her classmates, so Chica and I brainstormed to come up with fun Valentine favor for her to share. We decided to focus on a Valentine's Day gift that features Mini Me's favorite winter treat — hot cocoa.

We designed a special bag tag for these Valentine's favors, in two different color schemes. To create your own cocoa Valentines, just download our Valentine's Day Cocoa Bag Tag printable, print one (or both) of the designs onto white cardstock, and cut them out.

These tags are perfect to put on top of bags of hot cocoa mix, but I wanted to include some marshmallows as well. You can just use store-bought mini marshmallows or if you want to get fancy, you can whip up a batch of Alton Brown's homemade marshmallows. I made a single batch, but I divided it into four trays and added food coloring to each.

Then I used a small, heart-shaped cookie cutter to make little hearts that remind me of the conversation hearts.

I love the pastel look of these sweet homemade marshmallow hearts!

To package it all up, I put four of the heart marshmallows into a snack-sized, zip-top bag, and dumped a packet of Swiss Miss cocoa mix into a second bag. I lined the two bags up so the hearts were sitting nicely above the cocoa, then I folded over the tops and stapled them together.

Mini Me and I wrote names on the printed tags, folded them over the cocoa-filled bags and secured with another staple.

Our printable Valentine's Day bag toppers made this project super easy to pull together. You could make it even easier by using store-bought marshmallows instead of making them from scratch.
