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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
