Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Layer

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Marshmallow Layer

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Cocoa Mix Layer

  • 1/2 cup hot cocoa mix
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon powdered sugar or sugar to sweeten

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Base: Melt the chocolate chips gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Pour half of the melted chocolate into a lined baking dish, spreading it evenly to form the base layer. Place it in the fridge to chill and harden for about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Add Marshmallows Layer: Once the chocolate is set, sprinkle a generous layer of mini marshmallows evenly over the hardened chocolate base. This creates the gooey, melty core of your hot cocoa bar.
  3. Sprinkle Cocoa Mix: Lightly sprinkle the hot cocoa mix evenly over the marshmallow layer. This adds the rich chocolate flavor to your bars. Optionally, add some powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
  4. Top with Remaining Chocolate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the marshmallows and cocoa mix, spreading it evenly to seal all layers together. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the baking dish back in the fridge and chill for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
  6. Cut into Bars: Once fully set, remove from the fridge and carefully lift the chocolate slab out using the lining. Use a sharp knife to cut into bars or squares of desired size.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Make sure each chocolate layer is fully set before adding the next to ensure clean layering.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in a cool place or refrigerator to keep them fresh.
  • Customize by adding crushed peppermint, cinnamon, or flavored marshmallows for festive variations.
  • To serve, melt a bar in warm milk for an instant hot cocoa drink.
