Hot Chocolate Sticks Recipe

Hot chocolate bombs are adorable, but you'll need a special mold. These hot chocolate sticks are easier to make.
These don't have a hot cocoa powder in them, so you'll need a few more ingredients. They are still very easy to make!
Just pour warm milk over them, stir, and enjoy a delicious cup of hot chocolate. Unlike hot chocolate bombs, you do need to use milk for these hot cocoa sticks.
You can add different toppings to them before they set up. I used cookie sprinkles, mini marshmallows, and crushed peppermint. I left two rows empty for plain chocolate.
These make great gifts or set them out for a party. I used an 8x8 Wilton pan, but you can also use a silicone mini muffin pan to make these. I used reusable cake pop sticks. They are dishwasher safe and can be reused, but they are inexpensive and it's okay if a few get tossed on accident.

This is a fantastic idea to allow your child to “make” their own hot cocoa, with a little help, of course. How do you store them?
