This is a great recipe. I make it at least once a week and it's summertime! I was wondering if there are any nutritional values for this recipe such as carb count, calories, etc.? It's a great recipe! Thanks Martha! Love all you do:)

I forgot to mention that you can make your own homemade size marshmallows. Martha has a great recipe. Large marshmallow squares with a designed middle could be used as a side treat instead of in the hot chocolate cup.

I found small cutters in the d'oeuvres section of a kitchen ware store. But I also have other very small cutters that came with a snowflake cookie cutter set. The smaller ones are used to make designs in the large cookies.

do you think it would be almost as good if I used skim milk and Splenda? I wonder if Splenda could somehow be used for the marshmallows?

This recipe is one of the best homemade hot chocolate ever. Every Sunday, I make a large cup for me and I absolutely love it.

Another cute idea for those of you who love the heart marshmallows, especially if you were to use them to garnish a cake, is to dip the cut side into colored sugar!
