This decadent S’mores hot chocolate recipe is a rich and flavorful blend of real chocolate and marshmallows with the twist of Teddy Grahams as the Graham cracker accent to add another element to an already classic traditional fall beverage. Its a quick and easy recipe that you’ll love to make with loved ones every time it gets a bit chilly because this is one you’ll love!

This S'mores Hot chocolate drink is the reason I switched from just buying hot chocolate by the box. This recipe was too easy and too delicious to even think about using those packets. I came up with it when I was sipping said packet and was completely underwhelmed by the “marshmallows” in my drink. There weren’t any actual marshmallows. Just these little tiny white pebbles they were trying to pass off as the real thing. That’s when I realized I needed to upgrade my hot chocolate experience. So I went straight to Pinterest.

There are SO MANY ways to make hot chocolate but I couldn’t find anything on making a S’mores style hot chocolate. Why was I looking for this particular Style of hot chocolate? Simple. I love S’mores. I was working on another blog post talking about my love for them and the two idea’s collided in my mind. Next thing I know I had to have them, but not separate. Together, like they were in my mind.

As soon as I made it I was like “Damn, that’s good. I mean like, really good.” My wife was all like, Wow, that is good,” and I was like “I know, right?” and she was like —

…. well, you get it. I immediately knew what I had to do. I had to share it with my closest friends — including You!

Before we jump in, you should know there are 2 ways to make this concoction. The way I’m about to show you, and the way I’m about to show you… plus alcohol. The first time I made it without any booze in it. In the photos shown, I substituted one of the cups of milk for one cup of Baileys Irish Cream and it warmed my heart both literally and figuratively. The word “delicious” doesn’t even do it justice.
