Smore's Hot Chocolate (Our Best Bites)

This recipe was originated from the Our Best Bites: Savoring the Seasons cookbook, but I tweaked it a little so I will put both!

Our Best Bites

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter melted
2 graham crackers crushed
2 (4 oz) milk chocolate bars
4 cups whole milk
8-12 large marshmallows
chocolate syrup

Directions:

Place melted butter in a small, shallow dish that is a little larger than the rim of your mug. Place crushed graham crackers in another dish of the same size. Flip mugs upside-down and dip the rims first in melted butter and then in the crushed graham crackers.
Break the chocolate into pieces and place one-half bar in each of the four mugs. Heat milk to a simmer and carefully pour one cup into each mug over the chocolate. Set aside,
Place marshmallows on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place under the broiler on low heat. Watch constantly and turn marshmallows after one side is toasted and browned. Broil until remaining side is toasted then remove from oven.
Stir hot milk mixture to distribute melted chocolate. Top each mug with 2-3 toasted marshmallows and drizzle with chocolate syrup.

My Version

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 graham crackers, crushed
4 packets of hot chocolate mix of your choice (I used Swiss Miss)
4 cups milk
8 large marshmallows

Directions:

Place the butter and graham crackers in separate bowls wide enough to fit the rim of your mug. Dip the rim of each mug first in the melted butter then in the graham crackers. Pour your hot chocolate mix into your mug. Follow the heating directions on the packets for your milk (if it calls for less or more than the 1 cup then feel free to increase or decrease it). Pour hot milk over the hot chocolate mix and stir. Toast marshmallows any way you please (I toasted mine with a fork over the flames of my gas stove :) ). Top your hot chocolate with marshmallows and enjoy!
