I love Marshamallows in my hot chocolate!!!! I also love to add more when they have melted! But coolwhip or Redi Whip is better. What do you think?

Marhamellows...all the way. My husband likes to use marshmellow creme too but I haven't tired it yet. I never thought of coolwhip. Do you use water or milk??? I prefer milk but I usually use water cause it's easier to put it in the kettle and go (mixes easier too).

It depends on the milk status in the house, if we use water or milk. With seven kids, we should own a cow! LOL We had hot chocolate the other day and put cool whip on top and dropped a few chocolate chips on top of that. It was awesome! You should try it sometime with Cool Whip. :)

Love the marshmellows. I usually top off the hot chocolate with plenty of small marshmellows and stir them in till they dissolve. Hard to think about this topic right now as we are in what feels like the middle of a hot streak.

Where are you located? We are in a cold front on Oklahoma. Thus, the migraine from hell.

Sorry about the migraine, that's not cool. I am in Northern Virginia, suburbs of DC. The cold front is moving in tonight, supposed to be 20 degrees colder tomorrow than today. For you its migraines, for me its my knees. They tell me whats up weather=wise time to time.

Hot chocolate with whipped cream sounds best to me. Love your picture of the hot chocolate, by the way.

hot chocolate - hot chocolate
I love marshmallows in my Hot Chocolate!!! I feel like something is missing without marshmallows! Ohh, and I love CoolWhip in mine also!! But, sometimes it is tempting to just eat the Coolwhip or Redi Whip all by its self!!!! Don't you love sweet things!!??

When I started university, I used to fill a cup half-full with marshmallows, and then pour hot chocolate over top. I'm amazed I survived.

How have I never seen this discussion? I love marshmellows, which is the whole reason I drink hot chocolate! I do the same thing where I drink it and then add more. But, one of my favorite things to do is to add peppermint ... like a candy cane or just a little disk! Yummy, I think I'll go make some! That's going to be great for the diet!

I do love Marshamallows in my hot chocolate, but if i am on a diet day I would have to go without.

Hi brokentia, Whenever I have hot chocolate I always put a ton of marshmallows in it! I haven't had hot chocolate with whipped cream in it though, will have to try that this winter. Thanks for the idea! Love & Hugzz, PurpleTeddyBear!

i love marshmellows in hot chocolate too! i like swiss miss for that reason. it comes with the right amount of marshmellows in the packaging. and there are some boxes that have extra marshmellows for marshmellow lovers. i would prefer marshmellows to whipped cream. even fresh cream. something about marshmellows dissolving slower in the hot chocolate that is just so comforting.

We have been having lots of storms lately, last Friday we had I think 29 tornado hit down all over the state (I live in Texas) and there was talk about possible snowing in the panhandle (I don't know if it happened though). And stormy weather is always good weather for hot chocolate & marshmallows.

In the evening I like mine with a shot of peppermint schnapps, for that chocolatey, minty flavor. A friend told me about this years ago, she and her friends in a ski house used to have it when they came inside from the slopes.

Ooh! With marshmallows, please! Hot chocolate is lovely even without them, but with them it is an extra special treat! Too bad that I have to watch my sugar intake more closely these days and cannot indulge in such things very often. I am so wanting a nice cup of hot chocolate right now! LOL ^_^
