Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steam rises, about 4 minutes. Do not boil.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk cocoa powder, sugar, and cinnamon together in a small bowl until no lumps remain.

  3. Step 3

    Pour hot milk into a blender. Add cocoa mixture and vanilla extract; blend on high for 30 seconds until frothy.

  4. Step 4

    Divide chocolate between two mugs. Pour frothy mixture over the top, leaving 1 inch of foam on the surface.

  5. Step 5

    Top each mug with a handful of marshmallows and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

  6. Step 6

    Crumble half a chocolate flake bar over each mug. Serve immediately while foam is still thick.
