Get ready to cozy up with the ultimate indulgence—S'mores Hot Chocolate, a decadent twist on the classic campfire treat! This luscious recipe combines the rich flavors of semi-sweet chocolate, velvety cocoa, and creamy milk, creating a smooth and dreamy base that's perfectly sweetened with a touch of sugar and vanilla. The magic happens with a graham cracker-rimmed mug, gooey toasted mini marshmallows, and a swirl of whipped cream, all drizzled in chocolate syrup for the ultimate dessert experience. Whether you're craving a nostalgic treat or a show-stopping holiday warmer, this elevated hot chocolate recipe is a must-try! Perfect for chilly nights, it’s easy to make in just 20 minutes and serves up irresistible s’mores-inspired flavors in every sip.
In a medium saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt over medium heat. Whisk continuously until the mixture is warm but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chocolate chips to the saucepan and whisk until fully melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes more.
Stir in the vanilla extract, then reduce the heat to low while you prepare the garnish.
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs, either by hand or using a food processor. Transfer the crumbs to a small plate.
Lightly dampen the rim of two mugs with water or a bit of melted chocolate. Dip the rims into the graham cracker crumbs to coat evenly.
Pour the hot chocolate into the prepared mugs, leaving a little space at the top for the toppings.
Top each mug with mini marshmallows and use a kitchen torch to toast them until golden brown and gooey. (If you don’t have a torch, broil them on a baking sheet for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.)
Add a dollop of whipped cream to each mug and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, s’mores-inspired flavors!
