Melted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate By Kelly Miller • February19,2015 • Updated August 1, 2018 • 1 Comment 365 2 Jump to Recipe This quick, stove-top hot chocolate has melted marshmallows in the mix and piled high on top! The perfect treat after a day playing in the snow! My boys are SO ANNOYING with hot chocolate. Please tell me I’m not alone! I usually grab the hot chocolate packets from the store, or use the hot chocolate K-cups I still have hanging around from when they came with the machine. They beg and beg and beg me for hot chocolate, but it’s always the same story. “MOOOOM! It’s too HOT!!” And so off they play while they wait for it to cool off, and by the time they come back to it there’s little bits floating in the top where it separated from the water. Of course at that point, they won’t drink it. Sigh. I honestly don’t like hot chocolate made with water, either. It has to be made with milk for me! I remember once in high school I went with my mom to a small shopping village near our house at the time, and in the middle of the cobblestone walkway there was a small cart that was selling cups of hot chocolate. Steamed milk and chocolate syrup with whipped cream on top. Heavenly! This Melted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate is perfect for kids  – no separating as it cools and the kids loved sipping it through the mounds of marshmallows on top. The perfect treat after a day of sledding in the cold winter weather! A mug of this warm hot chocolate would taste so good right about now!

Terri C. says January 18, 2021 at 12:26 am Thank you for this recipe. It’s very good. I give it 5 stars. Yours is the only recipe I could find that had us melt the marshmallows *in* the milk. The marshmallow flavor is subtle, which is perfect. I followed the directions but used 2% milk because it’s what I had. I did add a scant 1/8 t. fine salt to this which made it even better. I cannot imagine this without salt. I used Ghirardelli cocoa powder and Kraft mini marshmallows. Reply
