Hot Cocoa on a Stick





Hot Cocoa on a Stick

Yields 25 – 36 blocks (Depending on how big you cut them. I got 25 blocks.)

Ingredients:
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk (1 1/4 cups)
  • 3 cups semisweet chocolate (chopped chocolate bars or chips)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened baking chocolate
  • wooden sticks (I used coffee stir sticks)

Instructions:

  1. Line an 8″ x 8″ pan with parchment paper. Heat the cream and condensed milk over low heat until steaming.
  2. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate; allow it to gently melt.
  3. After about 10 minutes, return the chocolate mixture to low heat to completely melt the chocolate. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is thick and shiny.
  4. Pour the chocolate mixture into the pan; shake the pan gently to level.
  5. Smooth surface with spatula.
  6. Set aside overnight to slowly set up. (I set mine on the counter overnight, then I popped it in the fridge the following morning to firm it up.) Run a knife around the edge of the pan and turn out onto a clean cutting surface. Slice into 1 ¼” cubes. Heat a knife in hot water and wipe dry before each cut, for smoothest cuts.
  7. Stick a wooden stick into the center of each block.
  8. Swirl into hot milk.
  9. Add marshmallows if desired. Enjoy!
