I just love hot chocolate sticks, you just dip them into hot milk and drink chocolate milk. These were made by Kristi, and posted on her blog, Hot Chocolate Sticks. She also express herself by explaining why she made these yummy hot chocolate sticks and concept behind them. I will explain the recipe if you want to read the whole post please visit Hot Chocolate Sticks.
Makes 15-16 sticks
Supplies
sticks (at least 5 inches long)
piping bag or sandwich bag with 1/2? corner cut off
ice cube tray or deep candy mold, each cavity approximately 1 ounce
Ingredients
9 oz. milk chocolate (not chips)
7 oz. semi-sweet chocolate (not chips)
1/2 c loosely packed cocoa
1 c loosely packed powdered sugar
1/8 tsp salt
mini marshmallows
In a medium bowl, sift together cocoa, powdered sugar, and salt. Set aside
Chop chocolate into small pieces (no larger than about 3/4? inch long) and combine in a glass bowl that is completely dry. Microwave in 30 second bursts on 50% power, stirring between each burst, ensuring that your spatula is also completely dry. Once chocolate is about 2/3 melted (there are still some chunks in the melted chocolate), stir until remaining chunks melt. This prevents the chocolate from getting too hot.
Pour melted chocolate into the mixing bowl containing the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Mixture will be very thick, similar to brownie batter. Spoon mixture into a piping bag (no coupler or tip is needed) or into a sandwich bag with the corner sliced off. Pipe the chocolate into an ice cube tray.
Once all chocolate has been piped, pound the tray lightly on the counter to eliminate air bubbles and to flatten the tops of the cubes if they are uneven. Working one cube at a time, insert a stick and place four mini marshmallows onto the top of the cube. Once all cubes are complete, set aside until cubes are completely dry. You can also place them in the fridge if you are in a hurry.
Once all cubes are dry, remove carefully from the molds. Wrap pretty and store in the cupboard.
To Use:
Heat up 1 cup milk (approximately 1 ounce of chocolate should be used for each cup of milk, so adjust based on the weight of your cube) and stir in. Cube will take several minutes to dissolve completely.
