Hot Chocolate Pops

Homemade popsicles never get old. There are all kinds of options to make them creative or fun and awesome looking – and these Hot Chocolate Pops are right there in line. With marshmallows and chocolate chips that actually stick to the bottom, this are about to be real popular!

In order to make these you will need both disposable Dixie cups (5 oz) and wooden popsicle sticks. The recipe yields eight popsicles at a time, so if you want to make more, be sure to double the recipe.

This chocolatey deliciousness is perfect as a birthday party treat for kids who aren’t into cake or just an everyday treat when you or the kids want something fun to eat!

Homemade Popsicle Recipes

Ingredients:
4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 packet hot cocoa mix (I used Swiss Miss)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
1 cup mini marshmallows

Pour the milk into a medium-sized sauce pan.

Pour in the vanilla extract and stir well.

Add the powdered hot cocoa mix, sugar and cinnamon. Whisk well to combine.

Add 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir well to incorporate.

Place the saucepan on the stove over medium-low heat. Whisk every 5 minutes until heated and the chocolate chips have melted. (Do not allow to boil!)

Remove your pot from the heat and allow the hot chocolate to cool at room temperature for 5 minutes. Place the pot in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to cool completely. You may want to put a hot pad or trivet down underneath the pot in the fridge.

Place 8 Dixie cups on a large plate or tray. Drop 5 or 6 mini marshmallows and 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips into the bottom of each cup.

Pour the cooled hot chocolate into each Dixie cup, filling them 3/4 of the way to the top. Some of the marshmallows will float to the top but that’s okay. Add a few more marshmallows and chocolate chips to each cup until they look full.

Insert the wooden sticks into each cup. The marshmallows will keep the sticks upright, so position them accordingly if you need to.

Place the plate or tray of cups into the freezer and freeze overnight or for at least 4 hours.

Before serving, take a scissors and cut a slit at the top of each cup. Peel the cup away from each frozen hot chocolate popsicle and serve immediately! Enjoy!
