Instructions
-
Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized saucepan, carefully combine the brown sugar, cocoa powder (if using), and milk. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
-
Bring to Boil: Place the saucepan over medium heat, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Keep a close eye on it to prevent it from boiling over.
-
Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial, as it allows the sugar to dissolve completely and the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Add Marshmallows and Butter: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Gradually stir in the miniature marshmallows, butter, and vanilla extract. Continue stirring until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is silky smooth.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the topping to cool slightly before serving it warm over your favorite ice cream. Alternatively, let it cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips for Enjoyment
- Serve Warm: This topping is best enjoyed warm; consider reheating it slightly before serving.
- Pairing Suggestions: Try this delicious topping over vanilla or chocolate ice cream for a classic treat, or get creative and drizzle it over brownies or pancakes.
- Storage: If you have any leftovers, simply store them in a jar or container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving again.
