Description

S’mores Hot Chocolate is the ultimate hot chocolate recipe! All the classic flavors of a s’mores in a glass. Chocolate and cocoa powder swirl into warm milk flavored with almond and vanilla extract. Poured into a graham-cracker rimmed glass, the hot chocolate is then topped with toasted marshmallows for the ultimate s’mores effect.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups milk
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate (baking bar or chips)
  • 1 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 oz crushed graham crackers (one pack of graham crackers)
  • Marshmallows for topping (regular, little or big)

Instructions

  1. Pour the milk into a saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a low simmer and whisk in 4 oz of the semi-sweet chocolate (about half a cup) and the cocoa powder until smooth. Being careful to not let the milk boil. Turn off the heat and whisk in the vanilla and almond extract.
  2. To make the chocolate dipped, graham cracker rims, melt the remaining 4 oz of semi-sweet chocolate on a plate in the microwave for about 45 seconds, or until melted. Pour the crushed graham crackers out on a separate plate. Working with one mug at a time, swirl the rim in the melted chocolate and then dip into the crushed graham crackers to coat. Let the rims set for a couple minutes prior to filling the mug with the hot chocolate.
  3. Serve with roasted marshmallows on top.

Notes

  • To roast the marshmallows inside, use one of these methods: gas stovetop burner, oven broiler (place on a baking sheet lined with foiled and sprayed so they don’t stick) or kitchen torch.
  • Any preference of milk can be used, but I would not recommend going any lower than 2% milk for this recipe.
  • Make ahead and keep warm over the stove or in a slow cooker for serving a crowd. Make the graham cracker rimmed glasses in advance so that guests can ladle up their own glasses and top with marshmallows.
