How To Make Starbucks S’mores Hot Chocolate

Step One: Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and dip the rim of your mug into the mixture. Set aside.

Step Three: Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, stirring to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

Step Four: Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in marshmallow fluff gently.

Step Five: Pour hot chocolate into the prepared mug, top with the whipped marshmallow cream, and sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs if desired. Sip immediately while warm, enjoying the gooey, chocolatey, and nostalgic s’mores flavors.

S’mores Hot Chocolate Starbucks Copycat Recipe Tips

• Use whole milk and cream: For the creamiest, richest hot chocolate, don’t skimp on fat content.
• Heat gently: Warm the milk mixture slowly to avoid scorching or boiling over.
• Stir constantly: Ensures cocoa, chocolate, and sugar melt evenly for a smooth drink.
• Customize sweetness: Adjust sugar and chocolate chips to your taste preference.
• Whip topping carefully: Fold in marshmallow fluff gently to keep the whipped cream light and airy.
• Prep the mug rim first: Makes assembly easier and keeps the graham cracker crumbs from falling off.
• Serve immediately: This hot chocolate is best enjoyed warm, while the topping is soft and gooey.

Storing and Make Ahead Instructions

• Storing: Keep leftover S’mores Hot Chocolate in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving, then add fresh whipped topping.
• Make Ahead: You can prepare the hot chocolate base a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Whip the marshmallow cream and assemble just before serving to keep it fresh and fluffy.

S’mores Hot Chocolate Starbucks Copycat Recipe Faqs

Can I make this S’mores Hot Chocolate ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the hot chocolate base in advance and store it in the fridge. Whip the marshmallow cream and assemble just before serving for best results.

Can I use regular milk instead of whole milk and cream? You can, but whole milk and cream give a richer, creamier texture that’s closer to the Starbucks version.

How do I keep the marshmallow topping from melting too quickly? Whip the cream gently and fold in the marshmallow fluff just before serving. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Can I make this dairy-free? Yes! Use plant-based milk like oat or almond and substitute dairy-free chocolate chips and cream alternatives.

Can I skip the graham cracker rim? Absolutely! The rim is optional and mainly adds texture and a s’mores feel. The drink is still delicious without it.

Can I make a larger batch for a crowd? Yes! Simply multiply the ingredients and heat the hot chocolate in a large pot. Top each serving with marshmallow cream and graham cracker crumbs individually.
