**Chocolate Cinnamon Stirrers**
**Ingredients:**
– 8 ounces of good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– Mini marshmallows, sprinkles, or crushed peppermint candies for topping (optional)
– 6 wooden sticks or spoons
**Instructions:**
1. In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth and glossy.
2. Once the chocolate is fully melted, stir in the ground cinnamon until well combined.
3. Remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate cool slightly for a couple of minutes to prevent the wooden sticks from burning when dipped.
4. Dip each wooden stick or spoon into the melted chocolate, coating about 2-3 inches of the end. Rotate the stick to ensure an even coating.
5. Optional: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle mini marshmallows, colorful sprinkles, or crushed peppermint candies on top for added flair.
6. Place the chocolate-coated sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to set at room temperature until firm.
