Ingredients

  • 2 heaping tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (natural works better than Dutch processed in this recipe)
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup semi sweet mini chocolate chips

  • 1/4 tsp cocoa powder for sprinkling on top
  • 2 tbsp aerosol whipped topping
  • mini marshamallows

Instructions

  1. 1.In a heavy saucepan, mix together the sugar and cocoa powder with a wire whisk. If you have a flat wire whisk, this works great for the corners.

    4.Take off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and mini chips until melted.
