Clearly October, November, and December are the best months of the year! Halloween, my birthday, Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. I love the crisp Fall and Winter air, the smell of spruce and fir trees, wearing boots and scarves and sweaters, warm soups and stews <scratches head> Oh, right, I live in South Florida, where we wear short sleeves and open-toe shoes October through December. The only crisp breeze is provided by air conditioning. The smell of holiday trees comes from candles and air fresheners, and ice cream can be eaten year-round. But a girl can dream, right? To embrace all the wonders of the holiday season, I spend some serious time cooking in my kitchen. One of my favorite holiday wishes would be to have a big fire pit in my yard to roast marshmallows for s’mores with my family. This delicious S’mores Hot Cocoa captures all that is wonderful about this South Florida girl’s holiday dream.

S'mores Hot Cocoa

This special treat can be made in just minutes with the right ingredients and tools. Here’s a delicious start to what you’ll need.

Kraft and torch

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces whole milk
  • 2 ounces Baker’s Semi-sweet Chocolate
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Graham Crackers
  • Jet Puffed Mini Marshmallows
  • special equipment: torch

Directions:

In a small saucepan, combine whole milk, chocolate, and cinnamon.

Making Cocoa

Continually stir over low heat until the chocolate melts. You could stop right here, and this would make a delicious cup of hot cocoa.

Plain Hot CocoaBut what is hot cocoa without marshmallows? That would just be boring. So here it is, served with a big handful of marshmallows. This, too, would be delicious… but there’s s’more.

Marshmallows

Here’s how you make the s’mores hot cocoa. Either place a few graham crackers in the food processor or place them in a zipper bag and recruit a young child to smash them into crumbs. Take your empty mug and dip the rim in milk or hot cocoa. Then dip the rim into the graham cracker crumbs. This way, you’ll get some delicious graham cracker flavor with each scrumptious gulp of this hot cocoa.

Pour the hot cocoa into your cup and place a handful of marshmallows on top. Now here’s the fun part! Using your torch, toast the tops of the marshmallows to get that delicious, almost burnt flavor you would get if you roasted your marshmallows over an open fire to make s’mores.
