How to Make Hot Cocoa Dip
This hot chocolate dessert dip is incredibly easy to make. Start with 4 ounces of Cool Whip in a mixing bowl. Then add 4 ounces of marshmallow fluff. The fluff is very sticky and a little tricky to scoop out. Combine the two wet ingredients.
Then add 1/4 cup of hot chocolate mix. Whichever mix is your favorite! I used a dark chocolate mix. It was so full of flavor!
Stir the dip until the hot chocolate mix is well combined. Eliminate any dry pockets of the mix because those don’t taste very good! Once the dip is fully mixed, transfer it to a serving bowl.
Top with chocolate syrup, marshmallows, chocolate chips, or any toppings you like. Specialize the dip to your liking with other toppings.

If you’re preparing this dessert dip for a large group, double the recipe! Use 8 ounces of Cool Whip. That’s an entire container, so it’s easy to measure. Use 8 ounces of marshmallow fluff. And 1/2 cup of hot chocolate mix. A half cup of the mix is typically an entire packet.
What to Serve with Hot Cocoa Dip
Hot cocoa dip pairs well with a variety of cookies, like graham crackers or Nilla Wafers. It also goes well with fruit, like strawberries, apples, and bananas. Another fun option is pretzel chips! The flat chips are great for scooping. And the flavor is a great blend of salty and sweet.
How to Store This Dip
Store hot chocolate dip in the refrigerator for up to three days in an airtight container. You could also store it in a serving bowl covered in plastic cling wrap for about 24 hours.
If you make a big batch of this dip, consider storing a portion in the freezer! It will keep for about a month. Then, you have additional opportunities to serve this fun dip without any extra work. But remember, do not thaw and refreeze for food safety!
Can I Make Hot Chocolate Dip Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! Because this dip is so easy to store and is served cold, it is the perfect dish to make in advance. Make it a few hours or a day or two beforehand! Wait until just before serving to add toppings. This keeps toppings from going stale, sinking into the dip, and just generally looking their best.
