Orange Dark Hot Chocolate on a Stick
A unique gift from the kitchen – a fudgy square of orange-flavored chocolate and a marshmallow on a lollipop stick to swirl into hot milk for rich and creamy hot chocolate.
Prep: 15 min | Yield: 36 (1 cup) servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds semi-sweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Orange Extract
- 18 large marshmallows, halved crosswise
- 36 lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Line a 9 inch square baking pan with foil. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray. Place chopped chocolate in large bowl. Set aside.
- Bring sweetened condensed milk and cream to simmer in medium saucepan on medium heat, stirring frequently with wire whisk. Pour over chopped chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute.
- Whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in orange extract. Pour into prepared pan.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight until firm. Cut into 36 squares. (May be made ahead. Store chocolate mixture, tightly covered, in pan in refrigerator up to 2 weeks. Bring to room temperature before cutting into squares.)
- To assemble chocolate on a stick, thread a marshmallow half and a chocolate square onto each lollipop stick. Wrap each hot chocolate on a stick in plastic wrap or small cellophane bag. (May be assembled up to 2 days ahead.)
- To serve, stir hot chocolate on a stick into 8 ounces hot milk.
