# What You'll Need:
→ Hot Chocolate
01 - 2 cups whole milk
02 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
03 - 3.5 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
04 - 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
05 - 2 tbsp granulated sugar
06 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of salt
→ Marshmallow Bar
08 - 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
09 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter
10 - 1/2 cup crisp rice cereal
# Method:
01 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat until steaming without boiling.
02 - Whisk in the chopped bittersweet chocolate, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Continue whisking until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
03 - Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Keep warm.
04 - Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the mini marshmallows and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until fully melted.
05 - Stir in the crisp rice cereal until evenly coated. Press the mixture into a small parchment-lined dish to about 1/2 inch thick. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars.
06 - Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top each with a marshmallow bar, allowing it to float and melt slightly into the beverage.
