After putting up my Christmas tree this weekend, it seems that the holidays are really in full swing! During this hectic time of year - between holiday shopping, seeing friends and family and wrapping up a busy work year - there is often little time to sit back and relax. No matter how hectic it is, it's always healthy to take a little time to yourself and enjoy the simple pleasures. A warm cup of hot chocolate topped with mini marshmallows and a festive candy cane is a great place to start in my book!
Hot Chocolate with Mini Marshmallows
Ingredients per mug
1-1/2 to 2 cups of milk
1 tbsp of good quality cocoa powder
1 tbsp of bittersweet chocolate chips
1/4 tsp of vanilla extract
1 candy cane
5 or 6 mini marshmallows
Add the milk to a saucepan on medium high heat. Bring the milk to a high simmer and mix in the vanilla extract. Set aside.
In each mug, add the cocoa and chocolate chips. Slowly whisk in the milk, making sure the mixture is homogeneous as you go.
Garnish with a candy cane and mini marshmallows. Enjoy!

Sounds delicious. Looks decadent. I really like the styling in that photo - that mug is very cool!
I wish I could grab this hot chocolate mug from my screen and
enjoy it sip by sip while looking at snow falling outside.. This is absolutely lovely! Love hot chocolate with marshmallows.
Anything with candy cane and little marshmallows on top gets my vote! This looks like a real hug in a mug - the perfect winter warmer :-)
Love this photo. My granddaughter, Ryleigh will love to help Gramma make this recipe.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
