Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make Ahead: You can prepare the chocolate milk in advance. Just wait to add the marshmallow fluff ghosts and decorations until you’re ready to serve to keep them fresh and fluffy.
Storage Suggestions: If you have leftovers (which is unlikely!), store the chocolate milk in the refrigerator. However, be mindful that marshmallow fluff doesn’t store well, so it’s best to enjoy it fresh!
Ingredient Swaps: While I love classic chocolate milk, don’t hesitate to use dairy alternatives like almond or oat milk for a vegan-friendly version!
