Hot Chocolate Recipe: Toasted Marshmallow and S'mores

There’s nothing quite like the nostalgic flavour of toasted marshmallows to bring back memories of cosy nights by the fire. This Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate takes those comforting flavours and blends them with the richness of Rococo’s 62% hot chocolate flakes. The result is a deliciously indulgent drink topped with golden, gooey marshmallows – the perfect treat for when you need a little extra warmth and sweetness.

Ingredients:

• 250ml milk (whole milk for extra creaminess, or oat milk for a non-dairy option)
• 3 tablespoons Rococo’s 62% hot chocolate flakes
• 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)
• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• Marshmallows (for toasting) - why not try your hand at our homemade marshmallow recipe?
• Graham cracker or biscuit crumbs (for garnish, optional)
• Grated chocolate (for garnish)

Method:

1. Heat the milk: In a small saucepan, gently warm the milk over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling.
2. Melt the chocolate flakes: Whisk in Rococo’s 62% hot chocolate flakes, stirring continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
3. Sweeten (if desired): Taste the hot chocolate, and if you prefer it sweeter, stir in a tablespoon of sugar or sweetener.
4. Toast the marshmallows: Using a kitchen blowtorch (or carefully under a grill), toast the marshmallows until they’re golden brown and gooey.
5. Serve: Pour the hot chocolate into a mug, top with whipped cream (if using), and place the toasted marshmallows on top. For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and grated chocolate.

Customisations and Tips:

• Non-Dairy Option: Oat milk works wonderfully in this recipe, providing a creamy base that complements the toasted marshmallow flavour.
• Extra Marshmallow Goodness: Add mini marshmallows directly into the hot chocolate as it warms for extra gooeyness inside the drink.
• S’mores Twist: Crumble a few graham crackers or digestive biscuits on top to give your hot chocolate a s’mores vibe.
