I think this recipe is the most chocolatey recipe of all time! It has chocolate pudding mix, hot cocoa mix, cocoa powder, white chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips. Chocolate to the max!!! So, I knew I had to try it for #Choctoberfest this year.
To make this cookie even better, it uses brown sugar from our sponsor Imperial Sugar. I love the delicate molasses flavor brown sugar gives to cookies. Imperial Sugar is in its 175th year, so you know they are doing something right! We love using their sugar in all of our favorite recipes, especially when baking for the holidays.
This is really the perfect cookie to enjoy with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee now the weather is getting colder. I make a double or even triple batch and then put extra cookies in the freezer. That way, I can pull out a few to enjoy whenever I am craving chocolate.
Thank you again to Imperial Sugar for providing the brown sugar for this recipe. Here’s the printable recipe, and scroll down to get more #Choctoberfest recipes for today. (And don’t miss our giveaway – enter here!)

For this recipe, you want the mini marshmallow bits, not just mini marshmallows. The bits are harder and sometimes found near the sprinkles or ice cream toppings.
