Ingredients
Scale
Regular Version
- 1 cup hot chocolate mix
- ¾ cup whipping cream
- 1 (8 oz) whipped topping
- 7 oz marshmallow fluff
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
Dairy-Free Version
- 1 cup homemade dairy-free chocolate mix

Instructions
- Mix Chocolate and Cream: In a large bowl, combine the hot chocolate mix with the heavy whipping cream. Use a handheld mixer to blend them together until the mixture becomes fluffy, which should take about a minute.
- Fold in Toppings: Gently fold the whipped topping and marshmallow fluff into the chocolate mixture using a spatula. Mix carefully until the texture is smooth and even.
- Add Mini Marshmallows: If desired, stir in the mini marshmallows gently to incorporate them without deflating the dip.
- Serve and Store: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and enjoy with graham crackers, animal crackers, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- The dip can easily be made dairy-free by substituting regular ingredients with their plant-based counterparts as indicated.
- Gently folding the whipped topping and marshmallow fluff helps retain the dip’s fluffy texture.
- Mini marshmallows add texture but are optional.
- Serve chilled for best flavor and consistency.
- Use airtight containers to maintain freshness when storing leftovers.
