Cocoa powder.
Chocolate contains sugars and milk fats and lipids, which make it melt much easier than the pectin, gluten, and sugars in marshmallows do.
The amount of hot chocolate you can make with 500 grams of cocoa powder depends on the recipe you're using. Generally, a typical serving of hot chocolate requires about 25 grams of cocoa powder per cup. Therefore, with 500 grams, you could make approximately 20 cups of hot chocolate, assuming you're using a standard recipe. Adjustments may be needed based on personal taste and additional ingredients like milk or sugar.
Hot chocolate typically contains cocoa powder, sugar, and milk or water, which create an acidic environment. The marshmallows, primarily made of sugar, gelatin, and air, dissolve in this environment as the hot liquid breaks down the sugar and melts the gelatin. The heat and moisture from the hot chocolate further accelerate the dissolution process, causing the marshmallows to soften and eventually dissolve.
