Count Chocula Hot Chocolate #HalloweenTreatsWeek

Jump to Recipe

This Count Chocula Hot Chocolate is made using chocolate milk that has been soaked in Count Chocula cereal as well as some added chocolate.

This Count Chocula Hot Chocolate combines two of my favorite things in to one yummy hot beverage.

Every year for Halloween Treats Week I make sure to include a recipe using one of the monster cereals…usually either Count Chocula or Franken Berry.

Growing up I loved Count Chocula and it was basically my favorite part of Halloween…well, that and free candy.

I decided I should make it into hot chocolate so I did.

You just need four ingredients:

Chocolate Milk

Count Chocula Cereal

Milk Chocolate

Vanilla Extract

Can I just use cocoa mix?

If you want to make things even easier you can use hot chocolate mix.

You would simply make the chocolate cereal milk and then replace that for the water the packet of cocoa calls for.

Do I have to use chocolate milk?

You do not.

However, this helps give the hot chocolate even more chocolate flavor.

You can use regular milk.

If you do I would add another 4 oz of finely chopped milk chocolate to the mix.

If you want to have your mugs look like mine simply melt some chocolate and spread it around the outer rim with a butter knife.

Then adhere pieces of cereal to the outside.

Add some whipped cream.

And throw on some extra Count Chocula marshmallows.

Enjoy!

P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook.
