Halloween Hot Chocolate With Crossbones

Learn how to make a sweet and salty crossbones topping for your hot chocolate! Perfect for Halloween or if you are feeling especially morbid.

For 2 servings...

2 oz. white chocolate (do not use chocolate chips because they do not melt properly)

4 pretzel sticks

8 mini marshmallows, plus additional as desired

2 cups of your favorite hot chocolate

• First chop the white chocolate into slivers and place in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 10 seconds, then stir. Continue to microwave white chocolate in 5 second bursts, stirring each time, until completely melted.
• Attach a mini marshmallow to each end of each pretzel stick. Dip in the white chocolate, using a spoon to help cover the whole surface, until completely coated. Place on a plate covered with a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap, and place the plate in the freezer to let the chocolate set for about 10 minutes.

While the white chocolate sets in the freezer, prepare 2 cups of your favorite hot chocolate. When the chocolate covered "bones" are set, top the hot chocolate with the additional mini marshmallows, remove the chocolate covered pretzel-marshmallow bones from the freezer and arrange them in a crossbones shape over each cup of hot chocolate.
