I really enjoy Weekly Topics for a swap. I think it’s a neat way to keep you involved during the “quiet period” between signing up and receiving a package. Here is the Cocoa Swap Question #3:
Marshmallows/Whipped Cream – The big debate: How do you prefer you top your cocoa? If you like marshmallows, do they need to be the big ones, little ones, homemade, gourmet, flavored? If it’s whipped cream, is it fresh, the kind in the can, flavored? Or are you a fluff gal? Or… do you like your cocoa naked? Tell us about how you top off your favorite cup of chocolate!
I am whipped cream all the way. In the can… and straight into my mouth. No, but really… canned whipped cream is great on top of hot cocoa. Did any of you have the peppermint whipped cream from Starbucks over the holidays? To. Die. For. If you’re making whipped cream fresh though, you better have some pumpkin pie or strawberry shortcake on hand!
Marshmallows are just more of a “roast over the fire and make s’mores with” kind of treat. They don’t get gooey enough in hot cocoa. Or Marshmallow Alphabet! Did anyone used to do that with their fingers? Mash up marshmallows into goo and then form letters with your fingers?… yeah me neither….
Naked cocoa is fine too, which is how it usually is as I don’t regularly stock whipped cream. But I have a question, what is “fluff”?

Fluff… is marshmallow in a spreadable form, usually spread on bread with Peanut Butter, for a Fluffernutter sandwich.
Well we are polar oposites on the whipped cream… no thank you, lol, I’ll take a marshmallow anyday over whipped cream.
I am sooo with you. Cream is a “yes please” and marshmallows are ewwww!
Duh! I ate frozen Cool Whip from the tub as a kid, but have never thought to dollup it in my cocoa. Might fix that in just a few minutes…
Cool whip is yummers on pumpkin pie I always put a ton on my pie during the holidays;)hugs Darcy
