1

With a marker, trace the rim of two hot cocoa mugs on a piece of parchment paper. Flip the parchment over, so the marker side faces down.
2

Melt chocolate chips until smooth and transfer to a plastic bag. Snip the tip of the bag and drizzle melted chocolate inside the traced circles, creating chocolate “lace”.
3

Cool in refrigerator until firm. Place lace atop mugs. Pour hot cocoa over the top to melt the lace into the cocoa.
