These Marshmallow-Shaped Hot Chocolate Mugs Are Fall’s Cutest Accessory

Summer is nearly over and cooler days are upon us. Whether or not you’re a fan of autumn and winter (and frankly, how dare you NOT be?), no one can argue with the objective fact that the best part of the season is having delicious treats. Hot chocolate is one of my favs, and this year I’ll be drinking it out of these marshmallow-shaped mugs I just bought on Amazon.


  1. You get four in the set! That means you don’t have to hog all the adorable marshmallowy goodness for yourself. You can share with your friends, partner, siblings, or anyone else who appreciates cute things. Each mug holds 6 oz. of liquid and comes with its own hot chocolate recipe card so you can even give them as gifts (but frankly I would keep them all).
  2. Have you ever seen anything cuter? These ceramic marshmallow mugs have little smiley faces painted on them with the tongues stuck out because hello, marshmallows are delicious. They’re so cute that you just want to squeeze them… but please don’t because you’ll end up needing many stitches if you break them.
  3. They’re dishwasher and microwave safe. That means they can be easily cleaned and that if you need to reheat anything in them, you can pop them in for 30 seconds without worrying about them shattering. Not a necessity but definitely a welcome feature for sure.
  4. They’re great for the kids in your life too. Because the marshmallow mugs are smaller than average, they’re the perfect size for little hands to grip. This means they’d make a great gift for the kids in your life. However, just because they’re smaller doesn’t mean adults won’t find them useful too. Personally, I don’t like too much of anything to drink, so they actually hold the perfect amount.
  5. Be warned: they do get hot! Because they’re ceramic and they don’t have handles, you’ll have to be extra careful when handling these. This is admittedly a bit of a design flaw, but nothing that wrapping a kitchen towel around can’t solve for the sake of cuteness.
