# 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 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
05 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of salt
→ Marshmallow Bar
08 - 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
09 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
10 - 1/2 cup crisp rice cereal
# How To Make It:
01 - Combine whole milk and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Warm until steaming but not boiling.
02 - Whisk in chopped bittersweet chocolate, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir continuously until the chocolate fully melts and the mixture is smooth.
03 - Remove the mixture from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Keep warm.
04 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Add mini marshmallows and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
05 - Stir in crisp rice cereal until evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to a small parchment-lined dish, pressing to approximately 1/2-inch thickness. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars.
06 - Pour hot chocolate into mugs and top each with one marshmallow bar, allowing it to float and melt slightly into the beverage.
