Ingredients

Scale

Whipped Cream Base

1 (6.5-oz.) can whipped cream (preferably stabilized with gelatin)

Decorations and Garnishes

9 Pocky sticks, split in half
9 (0.85-oz.) packets instant hot chocolate
9 red M&M’s
18 eyeball sprinkles

Instructions

Prepare Whipped Cream Antlers: On a baking sheet, lay out 9 cupcake liners and fill each liner to the top with the canned whipped cream. Then place two halves of Pocky sticks on top of each filled liner to resemble antlers. Freeze these whipped cream cups until they are completely solid, which takes at least 6 hours; they can be stored frozen up to 1 month.
Make Hot Chocolate: Prepare the instant hot chocolate packets according to the package instructions. Divide the prepared hot chocolate evenly among 9 mugs or cups.
Assemble the Floats: Carefully add one frozen whipped cream cup with antlers to each mug of hot chocolate. Decorate the top by placing one red M&M on each float as the nose and add two eyeball sprinkles per float to enhance the festive appearance.

Notes

For best results, use stabilized whipped cream to ensure the floats maintain their shape when frozen.
These floats can be prepped in advance and kept frozen for quick assembly later.
Eyeball sprinkles can be found at specialty baking stores or online during the Halloween season, but can be substituted with any fun edible decorations.
Serving hot chocolate in heat-safe mugs is recommended to avoid cracking from the hot liquid.
Consider using full-fat whipped cream for creamier texture and better freezing consistency.
