Yes you heard me right…Hot Chocolate on a Stick!! This is the cutest idea of the season and I just had to share. I was inspired by Make and Takes via Pen & Paperflowers, thanks ladies!!
First, make the Chocolate Ganache Blocks… {Click on the image to see the recipe}
Next, make the homemade Rustic Marshmallows… {Click on image to see recipe.}
Then you assemble. Place a ganache block on the bottom, a marshmallow on top, then skewer with a stick.
Embellish the stick with Divine Twine or ribbon…
Try to resist eating them all, and package them up to give to your friends and neighbors…
I’ll make it even easier…here is a free printable tag for your tasty little gifts {click on image to print tags}
When you are finished…heat up some milk, pour it in a mug, and give your little treat a try…yum!
And the best part about this treat? It can be given and enjoyed all winter long, not just during the holidays! It would be a fun thing to serve at any New Year’s party!

Oh my goodness too cute and fabulous! Your pictures are gorgeous and I'm a HUGE chocolate marshmallow fan! I need to apologize for the confusion but my linky on my blog was just a way for me to organize my year in review. I didn't mean to leave it open. Rhoda is having a top projects of 2010 party starting tomorrow morning so feel free to link up then! (But I'm selfishly glad you linked up so I could see this!)
Those are beautiful! What a great gift. I love the way you photograph your items.
Thanks for linking to Get Your Craft On, I'd love a link back.
I LOVE this!! I featured it over at Sassy Sites… come by and check it out! Don't forget to grab a featured button if you don't already have one! Happy New Year!! xoxo

Holy fabulous idea!! I LOVE LOVE this! You're so creative.

Oh my… I love this idea! I am definitely gonna try it!
LOVE this!!
Thanks for linking up! I featured your post today! http://tidymom.net/2011/im-lovin-it-wrap-up-1-2-10/
Happy New Year!
Such a great gift idea!
This is such a cool idea! And your tag design and photography are simply yummy! Thank you!
Wow,that looks awesome! i'm going to give it a try, thanks for sharing!
Looks great! I will definitely have to try these.
Looks delicious! What a fun idea.
Those look insanely yummy!
I think I could easily eat a dozen on my own :o)
Looks so yummy! What a great idea.
This seriously makes me ache for some hot chocolate. Yum!
What a treat! Kids are going to be wowed.
So cute! Love this idea. I've given people homemade powdered mix with marshmallows but this is definitely a much better presentation.
Such a clever gift idea! What a fun treat to receive!
I just made these (great directions, it was so easy!) and I was just wondering if I need to store them in the fridge. I'm giving them away as a gift in about a week.
Great looking treat….photos are very nice. Such a nice gift! Thank you for sharing. I'm sharing on my Trendy Tree Blog with links back to you. Great post…..keep them coming)))
Thanks for the great tutorial! Unfortunately, I’d like you to know there is a small typo on the tags (chocOlate) 😉
oh my goodness! thanks for letting me know!!
I came over from House of Smiths <3 what a great idea! I can't wait to try it, we're BIG hot chocolate fans at my house!!!
Great idea, but please don’t use plastic sticks for this gift. When you pour hot milk over it, some chemicals might leach out of the plastic. Use a wooden stick instead!
I was wondering if you are *the* creator of ‘hot chocolate on a stick’? I was just talking to mt MIL last night about this product and how she might carry them in her brand new cupcake shoppe 🙂
I know King Arthur has a recipe for this, but they call them Cocoa Blocks. This recipe is a little different because it leaves out the bakers chocolate, so I am wondering myself it is missing from her recipe.
I just posted a sneak peek of this lovely recipe tutorial on my blog! Thanks for sharing!

Why am I the last person to find your site? Oh dear… you are freakin’ good! This is right up my alley! http://vickidesigner.com (Yes, you see right… two blogs, I’m nutso!)
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing. Where did you get your hot chocolate mugs?
Thanks to Vickidesigner, I discovered your blogspot. This sounds so delicious, & I just love making homemade gifts for friends and family. This will be perfect. I am now a new follower. I hope you will come visit my blog sometime.

Welcome! Thanks for stopping by and saying hello…

..wow…on behalf of my kids ..who you will hear shrieking in the morning..and myself..YUMMO thanks for sharing..we’ll be doing this and the felt balls..most delightful!!
Hi! I LOVE this idea for christmas gifts to teachers, dance, bus drivers, etc. However, I just made a sample batch of the chocolate, but it doesn’t seem firm enough? SHould I put it in the refrig? Thanks!
Has anyone tried this using a peppermint stick? Just an idea!
I just made these and they turned out so cute! It was also way easier than I thought it would be. Great gift idea!!
I made these but the ganache was too soft, it was sticking to everything so I covered it with sifted cocoa powder, kind of like a truffle. Also, there’s a typo in the pre-made labels. The “chocolate” in the instructions is missing an A =\
Good eye!
Great idea. I’ve been excited for a couple of months to try these but they didn’t work out. Just tried making them but the chocolate ganache blocks are too sticky and keep sticking to the cellopane. Depressing.
What is the name of the cute font used on the word Marshmallow?
Mmmm, delicious! I’ll have to give this a go this winter! Thank you, StumbleUpon!
Natalya, Ruff House Art
these would be even better if instead of using sticks, you use candy canes !!!!! so you can mint hotchoclate : ) would be lovely!
Wow, I think I have found what I’m making everyone I know. Thank you so much, this is awesome!
Such a beautiful idea for cold days, love this and it’s so easy to make!
I love the tags but there is a typo on them 🙁 the back says “chocolte”
Do regular store-bought marshmallows melt the same as these? I don’t have a mixer… lol
The link to the marshmallow recipe does not work. Help?
I too tried to copy down the recipe but can’t get the one for the marshmellows. It’s Says it is GONE.
HELP, would really like to make these.
Thanks for this great idea, and for sharing your printable tags – I made these this year and loved giving them…and of course had to sample a couple. It’s so great to have something that presents so well that also tastes amazing!
Hi Heather…just wondering where the Rustic Marshmallows recipe went????
The recipe for rustic marshmallows in gone. Can you repost it? Or email it to me [email protected]
Thank you!!
This is so cute! I’m definitely going to make these. The link for the marshmallows isn’t working anymore. Is there somewhere else to find the recipe?
Going to give these a try tomorrow – they're going to need lots of testing before I gift them to anybody though! 😛
Totally cute I am using this recipe for Teacher Appreaction !!! I tried to access the marshmallow portion of the recipe but it seems not to be there. Is there any way you can email to me? I would appreciate it so much!! Have an awesome day.
Very good info. Lucky me I discovered your site by accident (stumbleupon).
I’ve book-marked it for later!
We all often hear about equipment machines in addition to their training.
Hence, fitness trainers recommend you to definitely have at
least 8 hours of sound sleep for healthy body. If you miss your session by an
hour or so, it can be pretty much not carrying it out anyway.
Your parents are certainly not around to see you what
to do. There’s you don’t need to cherry-pick sales,
just select the store with items you want on sale.
I love this idea! Would it be possible for you to update the labels (chocolate is spelled incorrectly on the second tag). Thanks!
Would love to make the Hot Chocolate on a Stick, but the Marshmallow link does not work. Is there somewhere I could go to get that part of the recipe?
I would love to make these also!! The Marshmallow Recipe is still “gone” and I was wondering if you could email it to me? Also, did you have a solution to the “too sticky” issue for the ganache that several of the comments mentioned? Thank you – I’m looking forward to trying these…!!!
Google or search pinterest for homemade marshmallow recipes folks. They are really easy to make. Experiment with the recipe to get it to work for you. It might simply be the humidity where you are located. It is August in Texas right now so way to hot to make these right now. I plan to make them in Oct and will post my results if others do the same . Positive outcomes how you got there.
Hello. The blog post linked to the Rustic Marshmallows recipe is unavailable. Please advice =)
