Easter may be a few days away, but the weather here has gone back to cold temperatures of early March. This means that my evening cup of hot chocolate has begun again. Although, to be honest, I have been known to drink hot chocolate regardless of how warm it is outside.
It is a known fact that hot chocolate feels a little sad without fluffy marshmallows melting on top. If you are looking to upgrade from the supermarket bagged variety, try making them yourself at home (recipe here) It takes a bit of practice to get the consistency right, but one you do - pure marshmallow-y bliss. The ones shown here are flavored with peppermint and swirled with red food coloring, but you can also make the equivalent of the plain kind with vanilla extract.
Tips:
- don't be afraid to use a lot of non-stick spray, otherwise you will get one giant marshmallow mass
- they might not look perfectly square the first time you make them, but they still taste delicious
- feel free to eat them alone as a snack ;)
