How to Make Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Mugs
Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
Step by Step Guide
1. Start by placing your chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them for 15 seconds at a time, stirring in between. Be careful not to overheat—you want that chocolate smooth and velvety, not scorched!
2. Take each jumbo marshmallow and dip the top into your melted chocolate. This will act as the “hot cocoa” in your mini mug. Yum!
3. Press 2 or 3 mini marshmallows into the melted chocolate. These act as the “floating” marshmallows in your cocoa.
4. Break or cut the pretzels into “C”-shaped pieces. Don’t worry if they aren’t perfect—it adds to the charm! Dip both ends of the pretzel into marshmallow cream and stick them onto the side of the jumbo marshmallow, creating a handle.
5. For a little gourmet flair, you can sprinkle a touch of sea salt over the chocolate before it sets. The combination of salty and sweet is divine!
So there you have it—your quick, cute, and delicious Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Mugs. These treats will add a little bit of whimsy to any holiday table, and they’re sure to make your sweet tooth happy.
Grab your jumbo marshmallows and get ready to spread some joy—one edible cocoa mug at a time!
