Christmas Treats Series: Hot Chocolate Sticks with Peppermint Tea Marshmallows

An easy marshmallow and chocolate treat perfect for a cold winter's night or for a homemade gift. 


Christmas Treats Series: Hot Chocolate Sticks with Peppermint Tea Marshmallows



Although it is no longer Christmas, it is still the season of holiday parties. I find that a homemade gift adds a little special touch during the holiday season. As hot chocolate is one of my favourite things in the winter, I want to share this love with all of my friends. 


Christmas Treats Series: Hot Chocolate Sticks with Peppermint Tea Marshmallows

To make the hot chocolate sticks you will need:
Popsicle sticks (or any other stick to build the treat on)
Chocolate Ganache (You can really use any recipe)
A batch of Peppermint Tea Marshmallows

Assembly

Make a batch of chocolate ganache and pour into a mould the same size as the one used for the marshmallows.
Cool the ganache and either refrigerate or leave the mould in the freezer until the ganache solidifies.
Cut the ganache the same size as the peppermint tea marshmallow. It helps to use a hot knife.
Poke a popsicle stick through the middle of a marshmallow. Then, poke the same popsicle stick through some ganache making sure the ganache touches the marshmallow.
At this point, you can either put the hot chocolate sticks in little treat bags or on a serving tray if offering them at a party. 
To serve heat up 3/4 cup of milk a stir into that one hot chocolate stick. 

There you have it an easy gift for any hot chocolate lover you know.
