Notes
Nutritional Information is an estimate, the quantities and type of toppings you use will differ.
If your hot chocolate stirrers are not coming out on the shot glasses. Gently dip the shot glass into hot water for no more than 10 seconds. Give the stick a pull and it should come out, but that pattern may smudge. That’s why it’s best to use silicon moulds.
As chocolate has a long shelf life, these stirrers can last around 3 weeks, though this can be even longer depending on the types of toppings used. Keep in mind that biscuit toppings can get soft over time and marshmallows will harden overtime when exposed to air.
