Coca-Cola Brownies and Coke de Mexico [AD] #ShareHolidayJoy

Surprising others with fun gifts – no matter how big or small – is something I enjoy! And the feeling that accompanies the sharing of holiday (or any day) joy isn’t bad, either!

Giving doesn’t have to be expensive, though, not even when you are giving a large number of gifts. Take my Coca-Cola Brownies and Santa Coke de Mexico bottles, for instance. Even with all the embellishments and ingredients accounted for, I only spent about $1.25 to make one brownie and a Santa Coke de Mexico bottle.

I bought Coke de Mexico (in glass bottles & made with real sugar!) at my local Sam’s Club. Since I was already there, I also picked up a box of brownie mix. If you wanted a bigger Santa, pick up a 4-pack of 2-liter Coke and Diet Coke at the special price of $3.98 during the holiday season.

The Coca-Cola Brownies are so easy to make but also very tasty. That, in my opinion, makes the perfect way to share joy this season!

I like to pair one Coca-Cola brownie with one Santa Coke de Mexico bottle for a mouthwatering treat!

Santa Coke de Mexico bottles –

You’ll Need: 

• Coke de Mexico 24-pack made with real sugar from Sam’s Club
• Miniature Santa hats
• Black, red and gold felt or paper (I bought glitter foam with a sticker back.)
• Scissors
• Sticky Dots

Directions: 

1. Cut the black and/or red felt into 1.5 by 5.5 inch strips.
2. Cut the gold felt into 1 by 1/5 inch rectangles. Bend in half lengthwise and snip a small line so you can cut a rectangle out of the center.
3. Add 2 (or 4) sticky dots to the back of the gold felt ‘buckle’ and adhere to the middle of the black or red ‘belt’.
4. Attach the ‘belt’ to one of the Coke de Mexico bottles (over the label).
5. Put a small sticky dot inside a miniature Santa hat and attach it to the Coke de Mexico lid.
6. Place another sticky dot on the bottle where you want the Santa hat to sit. Press to stick.

Like I said, sharing joy doesn’t have to be difficult or cost you a fortune!
