Maple Hot Chocolate

Country - try a FREE ISSUE today!

When I first developed this version of hot chocolate, my husband was quite skeptical. But after one taste, his doubts were erased. In fact, he was the one who suggested I send it to Country. It really hits the spot on a chilly morning, especially when served with cinnamon rolls or doughnuts.

SERVINGS: 4

CATEGORY: Beverages

METHOD: Other stovetop

TIME: Prep/Total Time: 15 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking cocoa
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon maple flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 large marshmallows

Directions:

In a large saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa and salt. Stir in hot water and butter; bring to a boil. Add the milk, maple flavoring, vanilla and 8 marshmallows. Heat through, stirring occasionally, until marshmallows are melted. Ladle into mugs and top each with a marshmallow. Yield: 4 servings.
