Today, I’m showing you how to make hot chocolate on a stick!

So grab your favorite mug, and let’s get started!
Suggestions for Ingredient Substitution
White and milk chocolate can be substituted with dark chocolate or carob chips for a lower-sugar option or to accommodate different dietary preferences. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe. For a dairy-free version, coconut oil-based chocolate alternatives work well and melt similarly to regular chocolate.
Fromage Frais yogurt pots can be replaced with small, food-safe silicone molds or ice cube trays for a reusable option. This substitution reduces waste and allows for custom shapes. Adjust the chocolate quantity as needed to fill the molds completely.
Wooden spoons or lollipop sticks can be swapped with biodegradable paper straws or cinnamon sticks for an eco-friendly twist. These alternatives add a unique touch and enhance the drink’s flavor. Ensure they’re sturdy enough to hold the chocolate mixture and long enough to stir with comfortably.

Ingredients
- 12 small pots of fromage frais yogurt (like petit filous)
- 2 microwave-safe bowls
- 2 disposable piping bags
- 12 wooden spoons or lollipop sticks
- 12 gift tags
- Clear cellophane wrapping
- Curling ribbon
- 300g white chocolate (10.5 oz)
- 300g milk chocolate (10.5 oz)
- Mini marshmallows
- Fudge bits
Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate
Start by greasing each yogurt pot with a small amount of oil to ensure easy removal later.
Break both the white and milk chocolate into separate microwave-safe bowls.
Heat each bowl in 10-second intervals in the microwave, stirring well after each interval.
Continue until two-thirds of each is melted, then remove from the microwave and stir until completely melted and smooth.
Step 2: Fill Piping Bags
Transfer the melted white chocolate into one disposable piping bag and the melted milk chocolate into another.
This will make it easier to pour the chocolate into the yogurt pots without making a mess.
Step 3: Assemble the Hot Chocolate Sticks
Fill each greased yogurt pot to two-thirds full with the melted chocolate of your choice.
Push a wooden teaspoon or stick into the center of each pot.
Top half of the chocolate pots with mini marshmallows and the other half with fudge pieces, pressing down gently to ensure they adhere.
If necessary, re-center the spoons or sticks.
Step 4: Set the Chocolate
Place the yogurt pots with the hot chocolate sticks in the fridge and allow them to set for 3 hours or overnight.
This will firm up the chocolate and ensure the sticks are ready for use.
Step 5: Finalize and Package
Once the chocolate is fully set, carefully remove the hot chocolate sticks from the yogurt pots.
Prepare your tags by writing “Stir me into 200ml of hot milk” on each one.
Use curling ribbon to thread through each tag.
Wrap each hot chocolate stick in clear cellophane wrap to keep it fresh and secure it with the curling ribbon and tag.
Repeat this process for each hot chocolate stick, ensuring they are elegantly packaged and ready for gifting or personal use.
