Instructions
Prepare your Mug/ Cup Garnish
Option 1:
- Place crushed graham crackers on a shallow plate and set them aside.
- Dip the rim of your mug/cup in the melted chocolate and then sit upright to allow some of the chocolate to drip down the sides.
- Then dip the chocolate-covered rim in the crushed graham crackers to coat. Reserve the leftover crumb for the topping.
- Use the rest of the melted chocolate to drip and swirl around the inside of your mug/ cup.
- Set aside while you make the hot chocolate.
Option 2
- Place marshmallows in a microwave-safe dish in the microwave and heat until just melted (about 45 seconds or so). Mix together with a spoon until smooth and light/ fluffy. It should become a smooth sticky thick paste. If it's too runny, allow it to cool slightly before mixing.
- Smooth the melted marshmallow around the rim and sides of your mug/ cup.
- Using a blow torch or lighter* carefully toast the marshmallow until golden brown.
- Set aside while you make the hot chocolate.
Hot Chocolate
- Whisk together the milk, cacao powder and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Remove from the heat once the sugar and cacao have dissolved and the mixture is hot, being careful not to allow the mixture to boil.
- Stir in the chopped chocolate, vanilla and a pinch of salt.
- Pour into your prepared mug/cup.
Toppings
- Top with marshmallows and then use a blow torch or lighter to gently toast the marshmallows until golden brown.
- Decorate with the rest of your toppings: graham crackers/ graham cracker crumbs, pretzels and extra marshmallows.
- Drink while still nice and warm!
Notes
*Feel free to add more sugar to the mix if you would like it to be sweeter.
*A blow torch will allow you to get an even toasting and golden brown colour on the marshmallows. But if you don't have that, a lighter can work too, it will just take a bit longer and create a slightly different variation.
