Enjoy a cozy cup of dairy-free hot cocoa for one in just a few minutes! Includes a link to homemade Honey-Vanilla Marshmallows.

This is a quick and easy recipe to make the perfect cup of hot cocoa! It’s made of wholesome ingredients and takes just a few minutes to make. I like to use dark cocoa powder, but regular cocoa works as well. It also pairs perfectly with these homemade Honey Vanilla Marshmallows which can easily be cut with festive cookie cutters, adding a fun twist to your mug of cocoa! I just used orange and red sprinkles for the noses and melted dark chocolate to draw the rest of the body.

Such a cute and simple way to upgrade your hot cocoa! It’s chocolatey, creamy, and utter deliciousness in a mug. The perfect drink to warm you up on a cold winter’s day. Enjoy, friends!
