Frozen Hot Chocolate Popsicles for the Win

Have you ever had frozen hot chocolate? If you have, you know it’s pretty dang delicious. And if you haven’t, you should really give it a go!

It’s typically something I don’t think about until late fall / early winter, but right now, it feels like the perfect way to blend the seasons, while simultaneously taking into account that’s it’s still actually semi-hot here in Florida.

So…with that in mind, I turned the traditional frozen hot chocolate idea into a super easy popsicle recipe. Want to give it a try?

Here’s what you’ll need to make your own…

Ingredients and Supplies:

• Your favorite hot chocolate mix (go with a super rich hot chocolate)
• Milk
• Chocolate Syrup
• Small Marshmallows
• Popsicle Mold (I use this one from Amazon)
• Popsicle Sticks

How To:

1. Prepare your hot chocolate, just as you would normally, in a mug in the microwave or over a stove. Whatever you prefer. *Be sure to use milk as opposed to water, for a richer taste.

2. While you are preparing your hot chocolate, sprinkle in a few marshmallows to each popsicle mold. Then pour hot chocolate into each popsicle mold, overtop the marshmallows. Only fill each popsicle well 1/3 to 1/4 full. Put in the freezer for roughly one hour. Or until frozen.

3. Remove from freezer and add popsicle sticks. Then pour a thin layer of chocolate syrup over each popsicle well.

4. Reheat your remaining hot chocolate and pour another 1/4 to 1/3 into each popsicle well. Add several marshmallows again and freeze again for one hour or until frozen.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the popsicles are complete. Freeze until completely hardened and enjoy!

As always, be sure to run the popsicle molds under warm water for 15-20 seconds to easily pop them out when you’re ready to eat.
