This Melting Ghost Hot Chocolate combines a creamy white chocolate base with homemade whipped cream and adorable ghost marshmallows. Simply draw faces on marshmallows with an edible marker and float them in the warm drink for a fun Halloween twist.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 tablespoon sugar. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, then mix in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 4 ounces white chocolate chips. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the white chocolate is melted and the mixture begins to simmer. Do not let it boil or burn.
  3. Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top with the whipped cream and/or ghost marshmallows.
  4. Use a black edible marker to draw little faces on mini marshmallows, then drop them into the hot chocolate just before serving.
