Notes
- Be sure to follow the order in which ingredients to add when. This will help get you a smooth, velvety consistency.
- Keep an eye on the stove. The milk and cocoa mixture should only steam, not boil. Otherwise the milk might scald.
- I use Guernsey caramel sauce but Smuckers or similar will work.
- You can replace the marshmallows with whipped cream if you'd like. You could also top it with black sprinkles!
- If you can't find ghost marshmallow peeps, you can always draw a face on regular marshmallows with black food gel.
