What a wonderful hot chocolate. It is just starting to cool off in the evenings here. I made this last night for me and my husband. We both loved the soothing maple-chocolate flavor. Very creamy and delicious. Thanks Nurse Di. -
This tasted great! The flavor of the maple was subtle and pleasant and not too overpowering. The marshmallows melted just enough to make this extra-creamy. I'll be making this again and again! Excellent job! Thanks, NurseDi! -
Now this is quite good. I love hot chocolate and maple. Just never thought of putting the two flavors together in a drink. They blended well together and were not overpowering to each other. Very smooth, rich and creamy. Just the way hot chocolate should be. Thanks Nurse Di. -
What a wonderful way to warm up. I made this during my sister's visit. We both enjoyed the rich smooth chocolatey goodness laced with the flavor of maple. Very creamy. Definite winner. Thanks Nurse Di. -
It has been very cold here (teens and 20's), so I started making hot chocolate at least once every day. I printed a couple recipes, but stuck with this one. It isn't super chocolaty, it's perfect. I prefer whipped cream on top, but I think melting the marshmallows into it adds something special. This recipe is a keeper!

Richer version: add additional cocoa powder. I used Hershey’s Extra dark. 4T total. Used 1 1/2 T butter instead, Used 2tsp vanilla, 1 T real maple syrup instead of maple syrup flavoring. Absolutely fantastic, with only 1 marshmallow on top! Enjoy! ??
