How to Make Hot Cocoa With Floating Eyeballs

  1. Gently make a small slit in the center of each large marshmallow.
  2. Insert a small piece of licorice candy (about ½ inch) into the slit to create the pupil.
  3. Insert a lollipop stick into the bottom center of each marshmallow eyeball.
  4. Set aside.
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of hot cocoa mix.
  6. Add 4 ounces of chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark chocolate).
  7. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate chips are melted and the milk is heated through (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  8. Carefully pour the hot cocoa into mugs.
  9. Add 2 eyeball marshmallows to each mug.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy the spooky fun!
  11. Variation: For a simpler version, omit the sticks and simply float the marshmallows in the hot cocoa.
