You can stir this creation from our CT home economists into your coffee. Marla Brenneman's Maple Hot Chocolate (see recipe finder) or any other kind of steaming concoction—it's such a special treat! The chocolate-covered spoons will taste just as good when you lick them all by themselves, too...and when you get past the rich topping, you'll find a creamy marshmallow surprise inside.
