Hot Chocolate Biscotti is the perfect thing to enjoy with a cup of hot chocolate! Make this biscotti recipe to share during winter activities. Disclosure: I made this Hot Chocolate Biscotti recipe as part of a sponsored post for TruMoo.
Last weekend some of our friends made a last minute trip to Minnesota. We were super excited to see them and we took advantage of the great weather by going ice skating. The fun, outdoor rink we went to is made up of three ponds connected by meandering canals. There is a large, heated building with an outdoor fireplace, but we spent our time outside skating. I brought along a carafe of hot TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow milk and a bunch of delicious Hot Chocolate Biscotti to share.
It was such a fun evening. Everyone loved the hot chocolate and biscotti. We enjoyed the snack while sitting on benches alongside the skating rink. All of the kids were asking to go again the next day!
To make the chocolate marshmallow biscotti, beat the eggs and sugars for about 3 minutes, until thickened. Beat in the melted butter and vanilla. Mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallow bits.
Cover a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Take half of the dough from the bowl and form into a log shape that measures about 10 inches by 3 inches on the cookie sheet. Then, do the same for the second half of the dough, leaving at least 3 inches between the logs.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden on the outside. (The center will still be soft.) Turn the oven down to 300 degrees. Allow the logs to cool on the cookie sheets for 10 minutes. Then, carefully move them to a cutting board and cut into ¾ inch slices using diagonal cuts with a serrated knife.
Lay the slices on the cookie sheet, at least ½ inch apart, with the cut side down. Bake at 300 degrees for 17-22 minutes, until crisp and brown.
Allow the biscotti to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet and then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle the biscotti with melted chocolate and sprinkle with mini marshmallow bits.
Pour a cup of TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow milk and heat it up in the microwave or keep it cold, if you prefer.

I can’t resist a good biscotti! I wish I had one to go with my coffee right now!
Tonia says
Mmmmm…I know what you mean! Thanks Jessica!
Nutmeg Nanny says
I have always wanted to learn how to ice skate but I fear I might be the worst at it…haha. However, it looks like you had a great time 🙂 This biscotti is totally up my alley too. Love those little tiny marshmallows…yum!
Tonia says
A friend of ours broke her arm really bad while ice skating recently, so I was nervous! I’ve been ice skating for as long as I can remember, but the older I get, the less times I go each year. One really neat thing about the place we skated is that they have ice skating trainer walkers for adults and kids!
Meg @ The Housewife in Training Files says
I love biscotti’s but have a bigger love for hot chocolate (or just chocolate milk even!) This is such a fun treat!
Tonia says
There’s nothing quite like it, is there? Thanks Meg!

You are just the best mom ever – you brought hot chocolate AND hot chocolate biscotti to enjoy during ice skating, that’s awesome!! 🙂
Rachel @ The Stay At Home Chef says
These would be so much fun to make with my kids! I’m sure a lot of the mini marshmallows would mysteriously disappear, but it’s be such a fun snow day activity!
Ashley | The Recipe Rebel says
Wait — chocolate marshmallow MILK?! Oh my word. I need that! Like s’mores in a bottle! These biscotti look amazing, too — it has been way too long since I’ve made any! Pinned 🙂

I have never tried to make biscotti, but I bet it would be perfect with coffee and hot cocoa for the kids
Chicago Jogger says
I have never seen biscotti with marshmallows – looks so tasty! Perfect for a chilly night.
Joanie @ ZagLeft says
What beautiful biscotti and with marshmallows – great idea! I could certainly go for a couple of these with my coffee this morning.
Susan@LunaCafe says
Now you’ve got me wondering what happens to the marshmallows when they are baked. Do they melt into the dough leaving a sweet crunch? I’ll have to try these to find out. Oh the things I do for “research.” 🙂
Aimee @ ShugarySweets says
I’m pretty much a biscotti addict. LOVE this flavor combo 🙂
