Make a batch of hot chocolate sticks to keep on hand this winter! Simply melt in a cup of warm milk for a delicious and rich treat! Fun to make and easy to customize! This post contains affiliate links.
It had been a long day of school and dental cleanings and we still had to pick up a birthday gift for a friend before heading home. I told the kids that they could pick out something fun to have as an after dinner treat.
That’s when we found a variety of flavors of hot chocolate sticks, how fun!
We grabbed 6, and as I was checking out and walking to the car it dawned on me that I had just spent $6 on something that I could have easily make for a fraction of the price.

These are SO cute! What a great idea. I used to make coffee stirring spoons with actual spoons from discount stores but I love the idea of a simple Popsicle stick. It would make a wonderful gift addition at Christmas time too. Pinned.
This is the cutest idea ever! Pinning for later!
This is such a cute idea! I will definitely be giving this a try this upcoming holiday season!

What a great idea! They are so cute – and your images are wonderful 🙂
This looks soo yummy! Cant wait to try it out!
Oh, these are so festive and pretty! Pinned so I can try them this holiday season. I make Mexican hot chocolate that is spicy-sweet. These sticks would be such a treat paired with my cocoa. You can check out my cocoa recipe here. http://onceuponatimehappilyeverafter.com/tasty-tuesday-mexican-hot-chocolate/
Do I still use sugar for semi sweet melting chocolate and white chocolate?
Yes
Does the mini muffin baking pan need to be oiled or prepped in anyway?
Thanks
Hi Nermin! We didn’t prepare them at all, and since I think it’s a teflon pan, they came right out. If yours isn’t a nonstick pan I’m sure a bit of nonstick spray would help. A mini silicone muffin pan would be idea!
Cute, Cute, Cute! Perfect little treats, that everyone would love! Thank you for sharing at Celebrate it!
Such a cute idea! Love it!
I think I will buy some Dollar Store cheap cups and melt the choc in them and add the stick or a spoon. Cute idea for grandkids.
