How to Make Hershey’s Hot Cocoa Push-Up Pops!
So last month I had the pleasure of visiting Hershey’s HQ (total chocolate heaven). I was itching to make a push-up pop with their delicious goodies so I decided on a Hershey’s Hot Cocoa Push-Up Pop! The weather is getting colder (not cold enough however, I want snow). Really though, why is it so warm? Instead of pondering climate change, let’s ponder chocolate, shall we? I used the Hershey’s unsweetened cocoa powder (the special dark would also be fantastic). Here’s a little picture version of making + assembling (full printable recipe below it).
Hershey's Hot Cocoa Push-Up Pops
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder - or Special Dark
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk - or heavy cream
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Vanilla Frosting + Whipped Topping
- Mini Candy Canes
Instructions
- Combine sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla.
- Alternate dry ingredients and mixing at low speed until all is thoroughly combined (be sure to scrape down sides of bowl as you go).
- Pour and spread the batter into a rimmed cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean).
- Use push-up pop container to cut out circles. Fill containers with rounds (about 3/4 full).
- Top with vanilla frosting or whipped topping.
- Sprinkle on mini-marshmallows, crushed peppermint, mini candy canes, nutmeg, more cocoa powder, you name it!
