Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 2/3 cup heaping Premium Hot Chocolate Mix
  • 2 Tbsp caramel syrup
  • 2 Tbsp extra fine sugar
  • Graham crackers (crushed // for lining rim)
  • 2 Tbsp chocolate syrup
  • ½ cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to low broil and move oven rack to the second from the top (high enough up to broil your marshmallows). Place baking sheet on rack.
  2. Prepare Topping- crush Graham crackers and blend with sugar. Set aside in shallow bowl for later.
  3. Heat milk and water in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through – about 5 minutes. Be careful not to overheat or scald.
  4. Add Hot Chocolate mix, and whisk vigorously until thoroughly combined.
  5. Meanwhile, take a few marshmallows and rub them around the top of your mugs so the graham crackers will stick. Then, dip mug in graham cracker crumbs until well lined. You could also add some graham cracker crumbs to the bottom of your mug for extra graham flavor. Then add 2 Tbsp. of caramel sauce to inside of the mug. Add extra if you wish!!
  6. Pour in hot chocolate and top with 1/4 cup marshmallows each. Carefully set mugs on the baking sheet in the oven and broil marshmallows until browned, watching carefully as to not let them burn.
  7. Carefully remove from the oven with a towel and serve with holders or a small towel to protect hand from heat (they should cool quickly for handling). Top with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and extra graham cracker crumbs for serving (optional).
  8. NOTE: you may also brown the tops of the marshmallows using a Butane Torch
