Melted marshmallows provide the frothy texture that you'll savor in this sweet and speedy warm beverage. They're also what makes this hot chocolate different from (and better than) the instant kind you make from a store-bought mix. Chocolaty and comforting, it's our daughter's favorite.

I am giving this 3 stars because it gave us the AMAZING idea of melting marshmallows in hot cocoa which results in a wonderful taste and texture you won't get in other cocoas. BUT, it was not nearly chocolaty or sweet enough for our family. Try this: combine 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/3 cup of hot water. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 min. Add 4 cups of milk, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of marshmallows. Cook and stir over medium heat until marshmallows and chocolate is melted and incorporated well. DO NOT BOIL. Now that's a five star recipe! Read More

It didn't take 15 minutes to make this sweet treat! I have tried several other recipes for cocoa from this website, but this is the best so far! I didn't think it was too sweet or not sweet enough - it was just right! Throw in a dash of cayenne pepper to enhance the flavor of the chocolate, and YUM-O! Read More

Terrific recipe! I just made it and love it! The only thing I did differently was I used about 1/3 lb. milk chocolate and melted that with my milk and marshmallows. Read More

I never thought to cook the hot chocolate with the marshmallows in it, but it turned out to be amazing! I think I added too much vanilla when I made it, though, because I thought it tasted more vanilla-y than chocolate-y. I would cut back on that next time, but that would be the only thing I would change. I was so great! Read More
