Hi there Fuji Fans! My name is Lolly of LollyChops.com! I am super excited to be a guest here today!
A few weeks ago before Lil’ Fuji Too was born – LFM and I were talking and I asked her if I could be her guest while she was getting back into the swing of things… she said “heck no weirdo!!” at first, but I begged and pleaded and here I am (I only had to bribe her a tiny little bit)!
Note: Just a little tip folks.. she caves quickly when Chocolate is thrown into the mix…!
LFM has been a guest on my blog several times and I am thrilled to finally have a crack at her space! I hope I don’t mess anything up!
I had a plan for a post for today that was thrown to the crafty winds by a sudden 3:00 a.m. vision of hot chocolate (don’t cha hate those???). I decided to put my plans on hold until next week and get right to work on a Valentine’s version of my Christmas Hot Chocolate download and print templates from late last year!
So what are download and print Hot Chocolate templates anyway Lolly? I’ll get to that in a sec (honest to peanuts).Firstly.. I had to check with the boss on my approach with these little fellas and she gave me the go ahead to actually do two versions. The reason I did two was because you might be feeling just a tad like going the “CheaterChops” route! One version has a recipe and corresponding ingredient list on the bottom of the template and the other does not.
The nifty thing about using the tried and true “CheaterChops” method – is that you can buy a ready made hot chocolate mix and just whip up these little templates and fill your baggies and you’re ready to go! Does it get any easier than that??? I think not! If you want to get crafty (or foodie as is the case with LFM readers) and make up a giant batch of the hot cocoa mix that’s included with the other version – by all means… knock your socks off!
I came up with a little easier than the buying-the-special-bags-from-the-store method for my Christmas packs and I want to share that with you below (have you noticed how I jump all over the place… I am a little crazy like that).
Fold the baggie almost in half and tape it down
(get close to the top (where the opening is) but not all the way to the top).
Was that confusing???

Fold over the opening (about an inch) and use a tablespoon to fill it with the hot cocoa mix.


If you have any questions about how to put these together, just leave LFM a comment and I’ll get you guys more examples, etc.. tomorrow!
So what are these for Lolly??
You can give these little tiny hot chocolate packs to your friends, family and coworkers for a super sweet Valentine’s treat! I thought they were especially fitting considering half of the country is freezing cold right now!
brrrrrrr
So where are these templates anyway Lolly?
You can download the
OR
You can download the La Fuji Mama Valentine’s Hot Chocolate Template with out the ingredients list on the bottom (aka the CheaterChops version) HERE!
I hope I was not too hyper and made sense! We can just blame the lack of sleep ok!?!
HUGS you guys! I’ll be back next week with a giveaway AND another foodie template (or two).
Lolly

Such a cute idea! Love it!
Hey Fuji Mama! I heard about your site from visiting Lolly’s blog. What a wonderful design! My wife will adore this! Thank you thank you thank you.
Hello Fuji Mama! Let me say that I made your incredible Potato Soup the other day and we LOVED it. My darling, picky husband ate 2 bowls (!!!) Can’t wait to whip up that Chicken Soup recipe your mom left. With a story like that attached to it, it has to be GOOD!
Love this, it’ll be a great little Valentine treat for the preschool teachers! Thanks for the template and directions!
Agh! The cuteness kills me. Guess I need a color printer RIGHT NOW! :)
Lolly is the most AMAZING little craftypants I know. Seriously folks eh? She’s also so sweet, hilarious and witty too, huh?
:) I’m going to make these this weekend (I’m hoping!)
congrats on your sweet little baby girl too!

This is such a good idea! I have tons of hot cocoa that needs to be used up this year and now I have a HOT template to dress it up! Thanks!
Hi Lolly! You’ve outdone yourself again. Cocoa yums to ya!. Hi LFM! Congrats again on LFM Too, and hope you’re having lots of fun together :-)
Oh Fuji Mama,
Your blog has been in good hands while you have been gone. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your guest bloggers. :)
Hi Lolly,
What a great idea ~ thank you.
Fuji Mama, I hope that you are doing well and getting some rest and enjoying your new baby.

What a fun idea, PERFECT for Fuji Mama, lover of all things chocolate! But drat, she’s seen this post by now, so I can’t make it to suprise her. No problem. Loving chocolate is in the top ten qualities I look for in a friend. I should have no problem finding more delighted recipients. I love your creative bagging, too. Thanks for sharing your ideas AND coming to FM’s rescue!
Wow-that bag is GORGEOUS! I’m loving those colors!!! I’ll be linking!
A big huge congratulations to LFM!!! I hope things are going well for the whole family.
Thanks for this beautiful idea! I have thought about sharing it with my readers and I hope you are not sorry if I have inserted her in my post of S. Valentine (http://bimbumbeta.blogspot.com/2010/02/s-valentino-piccoli-pensieri-amorosi.html). If you had to not make you like I will handle to remove the link to your blog. Regards, Beta
