Easy Marshmallow Hot Chocolate on a Stick Recipe

Marshmallow Hot Chocolate Sticks

• 200grams milk or white chocolate (approximately, it depends on how big your ice cube trays are)

• 3/4 cup mini marshmallows (or if you're making a smaller amount, 3-4 mini marshmallows per stick)

• Skewers

You will also need a silicon ice cube tray, ribbon and cellophane chocolate bags for wrapping

**Buyers tip: Cellophane chocolate or candy bags can be bought at large news agencies in a variety of sizes. Ikea sells heart and other shaped silicon ice cube trays.

Step 1 - Melt chocolate in a double boiler or in a microwave using 60 second 50% power bursts until it is smooth stirring each minute. Place the silicon ice cube tray on a plate and using a small spoon carefully spoon in the chocolate into the molds trying to avoid air pockets. Fill them up. You generally want a good block of chocolate for a hot chocolate. While the chocolate is setting, carefully put the mini marshmallows on top-as many as you can fit without crowding it.

Step 2 - When the centre of the chocolate no longer looks glossy you can place the skewers in the chocolate as they should stand up upright (if the chocolate hasn't start to set, the skewers won't stand up). Leave to set and when completely set, unmold and wrap in cellophane bag and tie with ribbon.
