In honor of sitting by a cozy fire, I’m combining two great fireside treats—hot chocolate and s’mores! I use the cereal-milk technique to infuse graham-cracker flavor into the milk, adding a subtle background flavor that rounds out the taste of the hot chocolate. Topped with toasted marshmallows, this luxury hot chocolate is the perfect treat for sipping on a cold night.
For the hot chocolate: In a large bowl, combine the crumbled graham crackers and milk. Let sit for at least 10 minutes or up to 20 minutes.
Strain the milk through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium pot, pressing the graham crackers with a rubber spatula to release all the milk. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Remove from heat. Add the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Add the vanilla and salt and whisk until the chocolate is completely incorporated into the milk.
For the mug rims: While the milk is heating, place the ground graham crackers onto a small plate. Do the same with the marshmallow creme on a separate plate. Dip each mug into the marshmallow creme to coat the rim, then dip into the ground graham crackers.
For the garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into the 4 mugs and top each with 2 toasted marshmallows.
