Equipment
- sauce pan
- bowl
- piping bag optional
- 5 popsicle sticks or more, if using a smaller mold
- Silicone Ice cube mold or similar mold
Ingredients
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup Heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- Candy canes crushed, optional
- Mini marshmallows optional
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Heat the heavy whipping cream on stove top, stirring so that it doesn't burn.
- Meanwhile, pour the chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl.
- Once the whipping cream is boiling, remove from the heat and pour directly over the chocolate chips
- Let mixture stand 4-5 minutes.
- Add ground cinnamon to the bowl.
- Stir the chocolate mixture until smooth and creamy. Tip: if the chocolate chips do not fully melt by the heat of the whipping cream, microwave the bowl for 30 seconds.
- Add mixture to the piping bag and pipe the chocolate into the mold, approximately halfway. If not using a piping bag, spoon mixture into the mold.
- Sprinkle any desired toppings on top of the chocolate. I used crushed candy canes, mini marshmallows and Christmas themed sprinkles.
- Place the popsicle sticks into the center of each chocolate square. They should stand straight up.
- Put the mold in the refrigerator and allow to set up, approximately 3 hours.
- Once the chocolate has set up, remove each stick from the mold.
- Heat up milk of choice or water, and stir in the chocolate until completely dissolved. Enjoy!
