Marshmallow Hot Cocoa Mug Cookies

When I saw something similar to these hot chocolate mugs on Facebook, I was all over it. I knew that they were the perfect idea to show you, so you could make your holiday even more special.

I set out to make these Christmas and winter treats as easy as possible. It took a couple of tries, but I think I found a really simple way to assemble these cute treats so you can have several ready in no time at all.

I love the ones with little Christmas decorations on them, but they are still cute without these added sprinkles.

Of course, everything is best served the same day, but these Christmas marshmallow treas can easily be made 3 days in advance. Just cover these cookies in an air-tight container and keep them at room temperature until you are ready to display and serve.

Storing:

Store covered at room temperature for 3-5 days.

What are some ideas for fun Christmas or Winter Party Treats?

Are you ready to make these Marshmallow Hot Chocolate Mug Cookies? Let’s make sure you have everything you’ll need…

Marshmallows – regular-sized – not giant
cookies – I used Keebler striped fudge cookies, but you could use Gingersnaps, sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, or any other cookie that sounds good to you for this treat
chocolate melts – light brown
mini candy canes
mini dehydrated marshmallows – Kraft calls them Mallow Bits
Optional – Christmas sprinkles

use the directions on the chocolate melts the bag to melt the candy melts until smooth in a shallow bowl
set out a cookie for your treat to sit on top of
cut a mini candy cane at the base of the crook (the curved section) leaving 2 parts, the curved part, and a straight candy stick
push the curved part of the candy cane into the side of the marshmallow as a mug handle
use that handle to hold the marshmallow while you dip it into the chocolate – only covering the bottom and top of the marshmallow
place one end onto the cookie so the chocolate can act as glue
next, push the other half of the candy can at a slight angle into the chocolate top – representing a candy stick coming out of your mug
add some dehydrated marshmallow bits to the melted chocolate
optional – use a toothpick to grab some melted chocolate and glue the candy sprinkle decorations onto the front of your mug
*hold the sprinkles in place until the chocolate has dried enough to set

How do you melt Chocolate Melts?

Using a glass microwave-proof bowl, pour your chocolate melts in and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. If needed, microwave for an additional 30 seconds and stir until smooth. *Note – I like to use a silicone spatula to stir my chocolate with and I use wax paper to set it on when done

Should I store Chocolate in the refrigerator?

Chocolate treats that use chocolate melt as an ingredient tend to change in structure and looks. Chocolate will produce a “sugar bloom” which is the sugar crystallizing. If you don’t mind the little white specks in the chocolate, then I’d say go ahead and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep longer.
