Hot Cocoa Sticks

This is seriously the best hot cocoa sticks ever. I make these every Christmas time and give out as gifts to family and friends. Usually, I like to give these with my Christmas candy I make and my homemade fudge. Yearly, we sell these for $1.00 per 2 sticks at the church bake sell and they sell out fast! You can fit 2 sticks in each bag or leave the sticks off and just put the cocoa squares in there. 4/$1.00 is a good price for the bake sale too (without the sticks). You Will Need: 18 Oz. Milk Chocolate Chips 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream, warmed 1 1/2 Cup Hot Cocoa Mix Molds Toppings ( Mini Marshmallows , Peppermint) You have got to try these out! 

Pie Crust

This recipe makes exactly two 9" pie crust, or enough for one pot pie or one fruit pie that you need a top for. A lot of people are so afraid to make pie crust because they fear they might make it wrong, or are just scared to give it a go. Making pie crust does not need to be feared; it is simple, easy, and you do not even need a machine to do it (just use a good old fork and your hands).
You Will Need: 
3 Cups Flour
2 1/2 Sticks Butter, unsalted & cold, cubed
1 tsp Salt
4-8 tbsp Water, ice cold
Dice your cold butter, and place in freeze until you need it
Mix salt and flour
Add in your butter
Work the dough until it is fine crumbs, I just used a fork and my hands, but you can just use your food processor or pastry folder 
Now add in 1 tbsp water at a time, I only use 7 tbsp
Here is the dough, yay! super easy right? Exactly! 
Wrap in plastic wrap until you need it, you can freeze this dough like this, or roll it out and freeze it into the pie pan, once frozen remove and bag.
