A Little Holiday Treat to Make with the Kids!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and I can’t wait to share these with you! One of my favorite things about the holidays is making memories with the kids, just like my mom did with me when I was little. We would make SO many festive cookies every year and sit down with mugs of hot cocoa to watch Hallmark movies. I love being able to continue that tradition and introduce a new cookie to the kids every year!

This year? These Hot Cocoa Cookie Cups just might become the new family favorite! You guys, how CUTE are these?! They’re little brownie bites decorated to look like mugs of hot cocoa, complete with pretzel handles and the sweetest little toppings. I had to share these!

And here’s what I love most. They’re SO easy to put together, and there’s no baking required! You can even use store-bought brownie bites to make things easier. The fluffy marshmallow frosting, hot cocoa chocolates, mini marshmallows, and festive sprinkles make these such a fun little treat for the holidays.

I can’t think of a cuter addition to our holiday cookie lineup! If you’re looking for something a little different to make this Christmas, these cookie cups are SO much fun!

Ingredients

Instructions

Lay your brownie bites out on a flat surface.
Mix together equal parts marshmallow fluff and white frosting in a small bowl. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
Break a piece off of a mini pretzel for each brownie bite and add a small dot of the frosting mixture to each end. Insert the ends into the side of a brownie to resemble the handle of a mug.
Pipe the marshmallow and frosting mixture on top of each brownie bite.
Slice into the front of each HERSHEY’S KISS to reveal the marshmallow inside. Place the HERSHEY’S KISS on top of the frosting mixture.
Add a mini marshmallow on top and then sprinkle with red and green sprinkles to finish it off.
