Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 4 pieces Candy canes (optional, for stirring)
- 1 set Edible decorating pens
- 12 pieces Large marshmallows
- 12 pieces Pretzel sticks
- 36 pieces Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar over medium heat until fully combined and warmed through (about 5 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract and semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring frequently until the chocolate chips have melted and the mixture is smooth. Reduce the heat to low.
To prepare the 'snowman' marshmallow toppers, stack three large marshmallows on top of each other for each snowman, using a small amount of water or melted chocolate as 'glue' to keep them together.
Use edible decorating pens to draw faces on the top marshmallow (eyes, a smile, and a carrot nose). Stick two pretzel sticks into opposite sides of the middle marshmallow to act as arms. Use mini chocolate chips to decorate the buttons of the snowman.
Pour the hot cocoa into four mugs, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
Drop a handful of mini marshmallows into each mug and gently place a marshmallow snowman on top as a floating topper.
Serve with a candy cane for stirring, if desired. Enjoy your whimsical 'Snowman Soup'!
