And I agree, homemade is so nice to receive.<br /><br />I happened to be at Michael's last night getting supplies for my daughter's project, and saw they had those plastic ornament balls for 75% off, making them 25 cents a piece. I wasn't thinking, and didn't buy any more. I should have, but we were focused on getting my daughter's supplies, and it was nearly 11 PM (Michael's was open until 11 last night, who knew?).Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-48061530260005051572015-12-06T10:26:56.762-08:002015-12-06T10:26:56.762-08:00Hi Lili,

Mixing in 1 extra tablespoon of drinking chocolate mix should help keep the contents pouring out. I did chop the chocolate pieces pretty fine. They would pack together in the funnel as I used a utensil to poke it all through. And I imagine that as the contents are poured back out, all of the ingredients will begin to mix and help keep the more clump-able ingredients separate. Plus, the opening to the ornaments is larger than the funnel that I used, allowing ingredients to flow even better going out, than in.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-68551674588605747172015-12-04T14:29:14.496-08:002015-12-04T14:29:14.496-08:00Do have problems with the chocolate chip pieces cl...Do have problems with the chocolate chip pieces clogging when you pour the mix out?
