A spoonful of marshmallow crème tops steaming homemade cocoa with rich chocolate flavor and a hint of spice.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 4 cups milk
- 3/4 cup marshmallow crème
Directions
- In 2-quart saucepan, heat sugar, cocoa, water, cinnamon and nutmeg over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 4 minutes, stirring constantly.

Serving Ideas: Variation: Make Mint Cocoa by omitting cinnamon and nutmeg and stirring in 1/2 teaspoon mint extract or 3 tablespoons crushed hard peppermint candies. Make Mocha Cocoa by stirring in 1 to 2 tablespoons instant coffee (dry).
Special Touch: Serve cocoa with candy canes to use as swizzle sticks!
