With this unseasonably warm weather, it’s hard to believe that Christmas is in 2 days! Not to toot my own horn, but I actually predicted the weather would be mild this holiday season back in October when I wrote about Easy Holiday Decorating Ideas for Beach To Bay Magazine. One of my tips was to “take gatherings outdoors with a DIY Hot Cocoa Bar“. An outdoor (or indoor) hot chocolate station is such a fun and inexpensive treat for your guests. I love the nostalgic feeling I get when sipping a hot cup of cocoa. I get a similar childlike feeling when making s’mores around a campfire. So naturally, putting the two recipes together takes me to instant childhood bliss. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do and have a Merry and blessed Christmas!
- 1 cup milk (or water)
- 1/4 cup hot cocoa mix
- Crushed graham crackers
- Chocolate syrup
- Marshmallows
- Preheat oven to broil and move oven rack high enough up to broil your marshmallows. Place baking sheet on rack.
- Heat milk or water in a saucepan until warmed and add cocoa mix.
- Take a few marshmallows and rub them around the top of your mugs so the graham crackers will stick. Then, dip mug in graham cracker crumbs until well lined.
- Pour in hot chocolate and top with marshmallows.Carefully set mugs on the baking sheet in the oven and broil marshmallows until browned.
- Carefully remove from oven and top with chocolate syrup.
