Ingredients
2 cups milk (any kind; use dairy-free for vegan)
1 cup water (or use more milk)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons light chocolate syrup
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon non-bitter stevia (or 1–2 tablespoons more sugar to taste)
1 pinch salt
Graham crackers, crushed (for lining mug rim)
1/2 cup marshmallows (vegan if needed)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to low broil and move oven rack to the second from the top. Place a baking sheet on the rack.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk and water until heated through (about 5 minutes).
- Whisk in cocoa powder, chocolate syrup, sugar, stevia, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
- Rub a few marshmallows around the rims of your mugs, then dip the rims into crushed graham crackers to coat.
- Pour the hot chocolate into the prepared mugs and top each with 1/4 cup marshmallows.
- Carefully place mugs on the baking sheet in the oven and broil until marshmallows are toasted. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven with a towel or oven mitt and let cool slightly before handling.
- Optionally, drizzle with chocolate syrup and sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs on top before serving.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness and chocolate levels to your preference before serving.
- For an adult version, add a splash of Kahlua or Baileys.
- If you don’t have chocolate syrup, substitute with melted chocolate or more cocoa powder and sugar.
- Use vegan marshmallows and plant-based milk for a fully vegan version.
