This ultra-cozy S’mores Hot Chocolate recipe combines rich dark chocolate, creamy milk, and toasted marshmallows to bring the classic campfire treat straight to your cup. Perfect for chilly days or any time you crave a comforting, indulgent drink with a nostalgic twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ¼ cup chopped dark chocolate
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

  • Handful of mini marshmallows
  • 1 tbsp crushed graham crackers
  • Optional: chocolate syrup drizzle

Instructions

  1. Heat the Milk: In a saucepan, heat 2 cups of whole milk over medium heat until it begins to steam but does not boil. This helps ensure a creamy texture for your hot chocolate.
  2. Add Chocolate and Cocoa: Whisk in the ¼ cup chopped dark chocolate, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, and a pinch of salt. Continue whisking until the chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is smooth and uniformly blended.
  3. Incorporate Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract to add depth and sweetness to the flavor profile.
  4. Pour and Top: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, then generously top each with a handful of mini marshmallows.
  5. Toast the Marshmallows: Using a kitchen torch, toast the marshmallows until golden and slightly melted, or alternatively, place the mugs under the broiler briefly to achieve the same effect. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  6. Add Final Touches: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of crushed graham cracker crumbs over the toasted marshmallows and drizzle with optional chocolate syrup for an extra indulgent finish.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for a creamier texture, but you can substitute with any milk alternative.
  • Be careful when toasting marshmallows under the broiler to prevent burning.
  • Adjust sugar amount to taste, especially if your dark chocolate is very sweet.
  • For a richer flavor, try using semi-sweet or milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
  • This recipe serves 2, but quantities can be doubled easily for more servings.
