Make Winter More Fun With TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow Milk
Did you know that watching movies tops the list of Americans’ favorite indoor winter activities, followed by reading books and playing games?
Did you know that the top outdoor wintertime activity for Americans is building a snowman, followed by starting a snowball fight and sledding?
Another fun fact is that nearly 70 percent of Americans agree that hot chocolate is the drink that reminds them most of their childhood. I am fairly confident that this will be the exact same for my children. We have hot chocolate several times a week and although my youngest just likes to eat the whipped cream from the top, my other two kids really enjoy drinking the entire cup and them sometimes ask for seconds.
My family seriously loves winter. My kids skied for the first time last year and after that, all they ever want to do is ski when we go on vacation. They also love sledding and building a snowman so we are definitely part of those statistics above.
Something else that my family seriously loves is TruMoo Chocolate Milk. We are working with them again and this time we tried the fabulous TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow Milk. I have to say that we cannot keep this in the house. My kids absolutely LOVE it.

HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR HOT CHOCOLATE?
I need to pick some of that up. It sounds really good and I know my kids would LOVE it.
The kids love them some trumoo. I use it to make hot cocoa in the winter and milkshakes in the summer. Thanks for sharing your post, I need to stock up on marshmallows.
I’m not a big fan of winter, but I do love hot chocolate. I would like to try every one of those recipes. Yum!
I’ve never had this, but it looks like it would be a hit with my kiddos! I will keep my eye out for it next time I’m at the store. 🙂
I love this stuff! I tired it last year for the first time and it was delicious! Your recipe looks great too.
Marshmallow milk sounds absolutely delicious. I love marshmallows in everything, so it makes sense.
Yum! Those hot chocolate recipes sound delicious. I think the gingerbread one is a winner for me.
These cold winter days would be perfect for those hot chocolate recipes. I would love to try them. Thank you for sharing.
These sound like delicious Hot Chocolate recipes. I will have to get some TruMoo and try them.
We love chocolate milk! And the rocky road hot chocolate sounds awesome!
I’m not American but I also agree that a hot chocolate drink reminds me most of childhood. We used to always drink that prepared by my late grandmother before going to school. Now, we have coffee or sometimes milk tea.
Did you just say marshmallows??? Yum! Ooohh I’m such a sucker for marshmallows and chocolates!
A nice cup of hot chocolate is just what I need with the insane cold weather lately!
Interestingly I have never tried TruMoo! Now I am so curious!
I’m not a fan of hot drinks but my little one loves hot chocolate. He’d love a mug of that milk with some marshmallows in 🙂
Too bad they don’t make a lactose free version! Would love to try this… if only I could drink milk :\
Thanks for sharing though!
I love hot chocolate so much and was actually drinking some while I read this post lol. This sounds absolutely delicious!
That sounds like a tasty flavor of chocolate milk. I like mine with a lot of whipped cream and a peppermint candy cane.
I cannot believe I haven’t heard of this before! We love Tru Moo in the family and added marshmallows to it is just even better.
I like ‘normal’ hot chocolate, but Gingerbread Hot Chocolate sounds so yummy! I’d try it!
Watching movies is on our list of winter indoor activities. The snacks really make it special for the kids though. I’ll have to treat them to some hot chocolate!
my hubby is chocolate milk obsessed! I will have to get him some of this!
This sounds really good. It would be a perfect way to warm up on a cold day. I am going to have to try the Gingerbread Hot Chocolate.
I LOVE hot chocolate! I will have to try these varieties!
I have tried the regular. I would like to try the marshmallow version. I love TruMoo!
Chocolate milk with marshmallows already in it??? Sign me up. Winter is still in full force here. I could totally use that!
This sounds absolutely delicious. I would LOVE to try it hot!
This is such a clever Trumoo drink for the season. I love hot chocolate any way!
my youngest love trumoo. It’s so good. I even like it. will have to try new recipes with it.
Yum that looks so good! I wish we had TruMoo here in Canada! I would love to make some hot chocolate!
I had no idea that truemoo made hot chocolate! Thanks for sharing this awesome post!
I love my hot chocolate with marshmallows. There is nothing like a cup of hot chocolate to warm got in the winter time.
It has been AGES since I have had hot chocolate. It sure sounds good right now, though!
Oh Yumm. I do have to try this. Love Trumoo
Mmm, this looks yummy. We love hot chocolate around here. We’ll have to try with trumoo. The marshmallows are absolutely a must.
I still haven’t gotten around to trying this chocolate TruMoo line, but I really want to. I just don’t want it to go to waste since I’ll probably be the only one drinking it. I really want to try it hot. I love hot chocolate drinks.
My kids love drinking hot chocolate. They’ve only started to get into marshmallows – I never thought about warming up chocolate milk, but it makes sense rather than using powdered coca.
I’ve always been a big fan of hot chocolate but I’ve never tried this flavour before! Looking forward to trying this!
I never thought of doing hot chocolate with graham crackers- that would probably be delicious. What a neat idea.
Looks like your little one loves it anyway! 😛
We love TruMoo in our house! Will have to try this recipe out.
That sounds absolutely delicious. I think I would love this to have at the times when I’m craving something chocolatey but trying to stay away from candy.
