Servings: 1
Equipment
- Saucepan Small
- Glass Mug 8-Ounce
Ingredients
- 1 Cup whole milk
- 2 Tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 1 Tablespoon heavy cream
- ¼ Teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ Teaspoon food coloring neon green
Optional Garnishes
- peppermint sugar sprinkles
- mini marshmallows
- red heart sprinkles
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk the milk, cream, chocolate syrup, and vanilla extract over medium-high heat and simmer for about 3 minutes.
- Once heated, whisk in green food coloring until combined into a Grinch-like green color.
- Now it’s time to decorate the rim of the mug. Pour some peppermint sugar sprinkles into a shallow bowl. Wet the mug's rim with water and gently press it into the sprinkles until the edge is coated.
- Pour the hot chocolate into the mug and top with marshmallows and sprinkles.
Notes
Don’t overheat: Simmer gently to avoid burning the chocolate syrup.
Mix evenly: Add food coloring slowly and whisk until smooth.
Rim last: Coat mug rims right before pouring so sprinkles stick.
Serve warm: Enjoy straight from the stovetop while it’s hot and creamy.
