I woke up with a sore throat so I am drinking some hot cocoa. And I am also a bit cold so its helping with that too. My dad laughs because I only use mini marshmellows for my cocoa and I was wondering if you use the big marshmellows or the minis. I love hot cocoa with plenty of minis.

Yup, the same.

I like mine with a bit of cinnamon and a bit of snickerdoodle coffee creamer

Oh, I have to have the mini-marshmallows too. I must must must have them in there.


You know what else is good? Heat up the hot chocolate slowly in a small sauce pan or pot on the stovetop, and add a few of those buttermints (they're pastel, and like little butter-minty cube thingys) in the hot cocoa...YUMMY.
They melt/dissolve right into it, and add a nice chocolate-minty flavor.

No marshmallows either, but I have added mints before.

Hm, I recall I have some chocolate peppermint candy canes left over from the holidays...

I LOVE the mini marshmallows but Jan the peppermint sounds DELICIOUS! I have never tried that before, but I will now.

I drink hot cocoa/chocolate usually right before I go to bed as a sleep remedy:

Warm milk and add the cocoa or chocolate.

If whip cream is available I'll add that too.

Puts me to sleep in no time.

I would live to try the mints too. I haven't had any hot cocoa for a while though.

I saw this thread - and then I had to go make some hot cocoa with marshmallow on top.
And it made me feel a little better for a little while, too!
Good idea, thanks for sharing the craving!
