You can also serve this with so many sweet treats, from fresh fruit to cookies and snacks. Its perfect to whip up this holiday season. Here are som ideas to get you started.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hot Chocolate Mix<\/strong>: Use your preferred brand of hot cocoa mix! I used what I had available in the pantry. If you use individual packets, usually they have 3-4 tablespoons of mix in them but it varies from brand to brand so you will want to be sure to measure out a \u00bd\u00a0cup of the mix.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dairy-Free Option<\/strong>: If you have lactose free people in your family, you can make this recipe dairy-free by using a dairy-free hot cocoa mix and a dairy-free whipped topping!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Real Whipped Cream<\/strong>: To use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/homemade-whipped-cream\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">real whipped cream<\/a> instead of whipped topping, whip 1 \u00bd cups of cold heavy whipping cream and three tablespoons of powdered sugar until you reach medium-stiff peaks. Use as directed in the recipe card in place of the whipped topping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garnish<\/strong>: Top with mini chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, dehydrated marshmallow bits, or sprinkles!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve With:<\/strong> Serve with a variety of cookies for dipping. I love graham crackers, strawberries, butter cookies, pretzels, animal crackers, gingersnaps, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/debeukelaer-pirouline-chocolate-hazelnut-pack-of-12-3-25-oz\/-\/A-92236405#lnk=sametab\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pirouline cookies<\/a>, and vanilla wafers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"Overhead shot of hot cocoa mix on a platter with different types on cookies. \" class=\"wp-image-275549\" title=\"This hot cocoa dip recipe has only 3 ingredients and comes together in 5 minutes.
