S’mores Hot Chocolate (Single Serve)
When the weather gets cold, I love hot chocolate. When I was a kid, I used to come home from school, pop a bag of popcorn, and make a glass of chocolate milk while I sneakily watched A Different World (or whatever “fun” show was on the few non-cable channels we had). Now as an adult, in the colder months, I do the same but with hot chocolate.
I realized more recently though that the powdered packets from the grocery store just aren’t cutting it. I want my hot chocolate to be creamy and delicious and CHOCOLATEY. When I studied abroad in France, I took a trip to Spain to explore Barcelona and Madrid. While in Madrid I learned the absolute glory that is chocolate and churros. That thick, rich chocolate sauce you dip those delightfully cinnamon-y fried churros into, like a dippable pudding.
This hot chocolate gives me those Madrid vibes – though not quite as thick since we’re just drinking it here people. It’s creamy and oh-so chocolate-packed with the added charm of graham cracker crumbs and charred marshmallows for that fun s’mores vibe. Plus it’s a single-serve hot chocolate and all for you!
So whether you’re making it to a campfire soon or not, you can have yummy, drinkable s’mores-y hot chocolate, just for one, whenever you wish!
