Mini Marshmallows
Marshmallows are an important part of hot chocolate, so they must be included with these cookies! I use the Jet Puffed Marshmallow Bits so they don’t just melt away and disappear like mini marshmallows do. You can often find these in your regular grocery store next to the normal marshmallows or near the hot chocolate. My Target carries them as well.
