HOMEMADE HOT CHOCOLATE WITH OLD-FASHIONED DOUGHNUT STICKS

Steps:

• Bring the milk, chocolate, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Whisk until completely melted and smooth.
• Serve with the Old-Fashioned Doughnut Sticks.
• For the dougnuts: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray two 6-well eclair pans with nonstick spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt to combine. Add the milk, egg, vanilla and butter, and mix gently until combined.
• Fill the wells of the prepared eclair pans about halfway with the batter.
• Bake until the doughnuts spring back when touched and a toothpick comes out clean, 10 minutes. Transfer the pans to a rack set over a baking sheet; let cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the doughnuts from the pans and let cool completely on the rack.
• For the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and milk together until smooth.
• Dunk the doughnuts in the glaze to coat completely. Transfer to a rack and let set for 10 minutes before serving.

HOT CHOCOLATE ON A STICK

Steps:

• Place 2 (15 squares ~ 1.5in.x1.5in.x1.5in. per each square) silicone molds onto a rimmed baking sheet. Set aside.
• In a large bowl add the milk chocolate chips and the broken up pieces of the semi-sweet chocolate baking bar. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, on medium heat, add the sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream. Heat the mixture until it reaches about 120-130*F. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
• Pour the milk mixture into the large bowl with the chocolates. Your chocolates should be completely covered by the hot milk mixture. Allow this to sit, undisturbed, for 3-4 minutes before whisking it to completely incorporate the hot milk and chocolate to make a smooth chocolate sauce.
• Transfer the melted chocolate mixture to a large piping bag, or zip top plastic bag with the corner snipped off. You will want to make sure that you keep the open tip facing up until you are ready to pipe the chocolate into the silicone molds.
• Pipe the melted chocolate into each of the square openings about ¾ full. You want to leave some space to top each of your chocolate squares with 4-5 mini marshmallows, gently pressing them down. If you choose to omit a garnish topping then you can fill your squares all the way full.
• Place 1 stick into the center of each chocolate square. Place the tray of hot chocolate squares into the refrigerator to chill, and firm up, for 3 hours up to overnight.
• Once the hot chocolate squares have firmed up you will remove 2 individual squares from the silicone mold to make 1 mug of hot chocolate.
• To make the hot chocolate you will place two hot chocolate cubes on a stick into a large 10-12 oz. mug. This will serve 14-15 (1 cup) servings of hot chocolate drink (2 squares per 1 cup milk)
• In a microwave safe, 2 cup measuring cup with a spout, add the whole milk and heat on high for 2 - 2 ½ minutes. This will scald, not boil, your milk so that it is hot enough to melt your hot chocolate cubes. Pour the hot milk into the mug, over the hot chocolate cubes. Using your lollipop sticks you will stir around the chocolate until it is completely melted and you have a rich cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows. You will discard the lollipop sticks once you have made your mug of hot chocolate.

HOT CHOCOLATE STICKS

Steps:

• In a microwave safe bowl melt chocolate according to package directions.
• In the bowl of your mixer fitted with the paddle attachment put confectioners sugar, cocoa, and salt.
• Pour the melted chocolate on top of the dry ingredients. Mix until incorporated fully.
• Place in a piping bag (or plastic zip bag), snip off the tip and pipe into 16 portions. Alternatively use a cookie scoop or small spoon. Mixture will be thick. If you use a silicone baking pan you can microwave it for 10-20 seconds after piping/scooping in the mixture.
• Top with JET-PUFFED Mallow Bits. Press craft stick into the center.
• Let cool 5 hours or overnight.
• NOTES:
• Lift the silicone baking pan a few inches and drop once or twice (or shake) to get the chocolate to level out.
• Check on the Hot Chocolate Sticks while they are chilling to be sure that the sticks are staying centered and upright.
