by Sophie Cheston - Age 5 Why hot chocolate is better than hot chocolate without marshmallows is because it has marshmallows. by Robbie Feder - Age 10 Hello my name is Robbie Feder. I think hot chocolate should be drunk with marshmallows because the marshmallows add more flavor to the hot chocolate and, for some people, it adds more passion. Marshmallows are the love of the hot chocolate and many Americans love marshmallows because they are soft and gooey and quite tasty, if I do say so myself. Some people just like to play with the marshmallows and some people just watch the marshmallows. I love marshmallows. I hope I win. Thank you for your time. By Robbie Feder I am 10 years old. by Trea Swanson, Walton Middle School, Charlottesville, Virginia I like hot chocolate for several reasons but not with marshmallows in it. One reason is I do not like marshmallows at all. Another would be that it would add flavor, which in my opinion would spoil the whole thing. Third, marshmallows I think have tendency to absorb the hot chocolate and cool it off so I hate it ever since I first tried hot chocolate with marshmallows. Marshmallows to me are the worst food to be created that I have tried with the exception of broccoli.
