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.

November 26, 2017 at 3:51 pmOh, 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/

December 21, 2017 at 11:09 amDo I still use sugar for semi sweet melting chocolate and white chocolate?

Nermin says
January 28, 2018 at 8:57 amDoes the mini muffin baking pan need to be oiled or prepped in anyway?
Thanks
Brandy says
January 29, 2018 at 6:47 amHi 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!

December 5, 2018 at 3:58 pmI 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.

November 10, 2019 at 8:50 pmHi! I just tried making these and when I went to add the powered sugar the melty chocolate stiffened up really fast! I followed the directions but opted out of adding any flavering oil…. Advice??
Brandy says
November 11, 2019 at 1:01 amHi Missy! That is really strange because unless you added something cold, it (the chocolate) should have stayed melted for a bit longer. I’m stumped!
