Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups complete buttermilk pancake mix I like Hungry Jack
  • ½ cup hot chocolate powder Approximately 2 packets. Do not use sugar-free.
  • 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ cup cold water

Ganache

  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Toppings

  • miniature marshamllows
  • whipped cream
  • any other topping such as mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or fruit

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk the pancake mix, hot chocolate powder, and cocoa powder togther. Add in the water and whisk just until combined. Do NOT over mix. Allow batter to sit 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, preheat griddle to 375 degrees and lightly grease.
  • Make the ganache. Add the chocolate chips and heavy cream to a mirowave safe bowl.
  • Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Heat the chocolate in 10-second increments, stirring after each one until it melts, then combine it with the cream. Set aside.
  • Pour or scoop 1/4 cup of batter per pancake on to the hot griddle. Look under the pancakes with a spatula. If they are golden brown and bubbling, they are ready to flip. Continue repeating until you have used up all the batter.
  • Serve topped with the ganache, mini marshmallows, whipped cream, and any other desired toppings.
