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 1/4 cups)
- 3 cups semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (chopped chocolate bars or chips)
- 3/4 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
I’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.

Cover with a small plastic bag and tie up with twine and you have yourself the most delicious Valentines.
shhh… I just cut off top of a sandwich bag ziplock and it worked perfect!
To use the hot chocolate, you simply stir into a warm cup of milk and you have yourself the tastiest hot chocolate you’ve ever had. 
The whole DNH family decided to give it a try and they were all begging for seconds. SOOO GOOD! You’ll wonder how you ever had hot chocolate any other way!
Enjoy!
