Marshmallows
Few things are more comforting on a cold night than a steaming mug of hot chocolate. And what could make hot chocolate even better? A handful of marshmallows.
You can spread your marshmallows on the top of your hot chocolate like a topping, or you can skewer them on a kabob and dip them in. Either way, they’ll add some sweetness and fun to your drink.
Peanut Butter Cookies
If you love the taste of peanut butter and chocolate together, then you’ll love dipping peanut butter cookies in your hot chocolate.
The crumbly texture and nutty flavor of the cookies guarantee a tasty combination. Plus, the cookies will soak up some of the liquid from your drink, making it even more indulgent.
