Our 3 ingredient hot chocolate dip is ready in minutes for a light and fluffy, perfectly indulgent holiday treat!
Our Favorite Holiday Drink in a Dip!
We’ve combined two of our favorites (hot chocolate and sweet dips) into one FABULOUS hot chocolate dip!
It uses our go-to Christmas flavor pairing of chocolate and peppermint. The chocolate fluff is the combination of only three ingredients and is completely lick-the-spoon-worthy (no joke!) Then simply add a festive topping! We used mini chocolate chips, marshmallows, and crushed candy canes and we think it’s perfection – but you could easily change it up.
Good thing this dessert takes less than 10 minutes to make because one batch doesn’t last long! Serve this up with cookies, crackers, fruit along with our Peppermint Fluff dip.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
- You don’t need much. The hot cocoa fluff has just 3 ingredients then choose your toppings and dippables!
- Add festive toppings. We included crushed candy canes to add holiday flair!
- So dippable. We paired this Christmas dessert with graham crackers and apples but you can get creative and add your favorites!
