Serving Suggestions
You of course serve this white hot chocolate with the Stormtrooper marshmallows, but you can easily serve it just by itself or with plain ones. Whipped cream is never a bad idea, or add some mini chocolate chips or a peppermint cane for the holidays.
Can you make it with other chocolate?
If white chocolate is not your thing, you can easily make this with dark or milk chocolate. The recipe stays the same, just swap the chocolate. Use a good quality chocolate for the best flavor.
Can you make it ahead of time?
This recipe makes enough for 8 drinks and the leftovers can easily be stored for the next day. Once made, take the pot off of the heat, place a lid on top and let it cool completely. You can then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
You can reheat it in the microwave or in a double broiler on the stovetop.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- Don’t let the pot boil or the ingredients can separate. It should be heated, not bubbling.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
