The recipe for the hot cocoa blocks on King Arthur Flour

Hot Chocolate Recipe:

Ingredients

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk (1 ¼ cups)
  • 3 cups semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (chopped chocolate bars or chips)
  • ¾ cup unsweetened baking chocolate
  • Popsicle sticks

 Directions

  • Line an 8" x 8" pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Heat the cream and condensed milk over low heat until steaming. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate; allow it to gently melt.
  • After about 10 minutes, return the chocolate mixture to low heat to completely melt the chocolate. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is thick and shiny. Add a few drops of flavoring oil if you like; hazelnut, coffee, or vanilla are popular flavors.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the pan; shake the pan gently to level. Sprinkle with cocoa, if desired. Set aside overnight to slowly set up.
  • Run a knife around the edge of the pan and turn out onto a clean cutting surface.
  • Slice into 1 ¼" cubes. Heat a knife in hot water and wipe dry before each cut, for smoothest cuts.

Yield: about 3 dozen blocks

Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows

chocolate-covered-marshmallowsI'm in love with chocolate dipped marshmallows. They are so easy and festive and are a hit at every party I throw. Simple melt the colored chocolate over a double broiler and once the chocolate is completely melted, dip the marshmallows each in and then set to dry on a piece of parchment paper.

Then its a matter of sticking the lollipop stick through the marshmallow and the hot chocolate block.
