If someone in your family is allergic to chocolate (like my son-in-law), then make this Hot BUTTERSCOTCH drink for them in the Winter!
Frothy with lots of MARSHMALLOWS ** And put a dollop of whipped cream, and drizzle with a little butterscotch syrup! ** everyone else will want this instead of their Hot Cocoa * |
Frothy Hot BUTTERSCOTCH
1/2 tsp butter
32 mini marshmallows
1 cup milk
1 TB brown sugar (packed)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Whipped cream and butterscotch syrup (OPTIONAL)
Put milk, brown sugar, and extract in heavy medium-size saucepan, and stir to mix. Put pan over medium-high heat, and, whisking constantly, heat until mixture begins to reach a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low, and add 20 of the marshmallows. Continue to heat, whisking constantly, until marshmallows begin to melt.
Remove saucepan from heat, and whisk until it becomes frothy. Put 6 of the remaining marshmallows in the bottom of each of 2 mugs. Pour the butterscotch mixture over the marshmallows, and serve immediately. Serves 2
Can also top with whipped cream and/or marshmallows, and drizzle with butterscotch syrup if desired
