Hot Chocolate Stir Sticks - December 16, 2012

Let me preface this post with this: I don't like marshmallows. Nope, not a fan. I don't like them for the same reason I don't really care for frosting. They are too sickly sweet for my tastes. That being said, I dig these. Why? I have no idea. 

Hot Chocolate Stir Sticks

Ingredients:

1 package mallows - regular size or super huge jumbo ones.

chocolate chips 

crushed graham crackers

stirrer sticks

Push a stirrer stick through each mallow and set aside. Melt 1/2 bag of chocolate chips in microwave until smooth. Dip each marshmallow into the chocolate then roll in the graham crackers and set on parchment paper to cool.

There are so many variations to this recipe. 

Try: crushed Oreos, crushed vanilla cookies, white chocolate chips with crushed peppermint pieces, add some peppermint flavoring or Bailey's to the chocolate for an extra flavor, etc.

Husband Rating:

We actually didn't use these as stir sticks. We ate them as is. Which is ok. :) I think I liked them more than my husband did. I'll be making these this winter in little gift bags with hot chocolate mix. If you're not a huge mallow person, dip plastic spoons in chocolate and roll them in something as an added flavor to hot chocolate or coffees.
