Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing semi-sweet chocolate chips in a small microwavable bowl. Microwave them on high for 30 seconds, then stir until the chocolate is completely smooth.
  2. Dip each maraschino cherry into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely covered. Place the chocolate-coated cherries on a parchment-lined plate and set them in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Pour whole milk into a medium saucepan. Heat the milk over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until steam starts to rise, but do not let it boil.
  4. Add two packets of Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix to each mug.
  5. Measure out 4 teaspoons of maraschino cherry juice for each mug and pour it over the cocoa mix.
  6. Slowly pour the steaming milk into each mug over the cocoa mix and cherry juice. Stir gently until everything is combined.
  7. Top with whipped cream and add the chocolate-covered cherries on top. Serve immediately.
