Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 c cream
1 - 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 Tbsp instant coffee
3 3/4 c 60 % cacao chocolate chips, such as ghiradelli, or 2 - 11 oz bags
36 wooden sticks
36 large marshmallows, if desired

Steps:

  • 1. Line an 8x8 pan with foil and lightly spray. Set aside. In a large saucepan over medium heat, mix together cream, sweetened condensed milk and coffee. Heat until it starts to steam, stirring occasionally. Do Not Allow to boil. Remove from heat, add chocolate, stir slightly, just enough to cover chocolate and allow to sit for 8-10 minutes. Then return to a low heat, stir steadily until all chocolate has melted. Pour into prepared pan. Refrigerate 6 hrs or overnight.
  • 2. Lift chocolate out of pan, onto cutting board. Remove foil and cut into 36 pieces. (approx 1 1/4" blocks. That's 6 rows with each row cut into 6) You may need to dip your knife in hot water, wipe dry quickly then slice, for the cleanest cuts...I did this with every row. I made homemade Vanilla Bean Marshmallows (you could use large store bought marshmallows) and placed one of them on top of each block and inserted wooden stick. Wrap in plastic wrap or wax paper to store.
  • 3. To Use: Heat 6-8 oz of milk, add stick of chocolate and stir until melted. ENJOY!!!
  • 4. ***Lark suggest adding other flavors as well, such as 1T mocha, orange or raspberry flavoring, she also added in a dash of cinnamon...stir these in before you pour into pan.

These are the worst hot chocolate blocks I've ever had. They're dry and crumbly and they taste like chemicals.

These are a waste of time and ingredients. They're not worth the effort to make.

These are a fun and easy treat to make, but they're not very impressive. They're just melted chocolate on a stick.

These are a great idea, but the blocks are a bit too big. I would recommend making them smaller so that they're easier to eat.

These are a fun and festive treat, but they're a bit too messy to eat. The chocolate melts easily and it's hard to keep it from getting all over your hands.

These are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or using a darker chocolate.

These are a great way to use up leftover chocolate. I had some dark chocolate that I didn't know what to do with, so I made these blocks. They turned out great and they're the perfect treat to have on hand for a quick snack.
