What are Teigen’s top hot cocoa tips?

Teigen has never been shy about sharing her favorite recipes over the years. And in one of her most recent posts, the model told her 26 million followers exactly how she likes to enjoy a hot cup of cocoa.

Teigen purchases a colorful array of Medley Hills Farm Cereal Marshmallows online and dumps a bunch into her cup. The marshmallows easily melt in the cocoa and give the drink an amazing flavor. You might even recognize it from your childhood days as these are the same sugary treats in Lucky Charms.

Fortunately, the marshmallows come in one-pound bags, so you should not need more than one to hold you over (well, maybe two). You can also use them in other cereals, as a cake topping, or pretty much any type of dessert.

So far, fans have loved Chrissy Teigen’s marshmallow tip and were not shy about sharing their thoughts about her post in the comments section.

“This is what I’ve been dreaming about for years,” one fan wrote, while another added, “a Christmas miracle.”

Chrissy Teigen gives fans a look at her celebrity life

Hot cocoa tips aside, Teigen recently took part in an AMA on Twitter where she answered fan questions about her everyday life. Some of Teigen’s answers reflect her status as a celebrity, but there were a few revelations that prove she is just like everyone else.

One of the biggest surprises that came out of the session was the fact that Teigen keeps a junk drawer in her home like an ordinary person.

According to AV Club, Chrissy Teigen even shared a photo of her junk drawer, which revealed that she keeps a surprising number of household items on hand for emergencies. This includes an array of markers, a few lint rollers, a random toothbrush, tape, super glue, a stick of deodorant, and a few other office supplies.

Fans loved learning more about Teigen’s everyday life, and a photo of her junk drawer was only the start of the conversation.

Inside Teigen’s Twitter AMA

During her Twitter AMA, Teigen was asked about what she loves the most about being a celebrity. In response, she told fans that the biggest perk of being famous is how everyone treats her children.

“Everyone pretends your kids aren’t annoying little turds sometimes,” she joked.

Chrissy Teigen went on to say that she wakes up to an alarm clock every morning, though she admitted that her husband, John Legend, usually is the morning person. In fact, Legend normally wakes up and makes breakfast for the entire family — which is super sweet.

While being famous clearly has its benefits, one fan asked Teigen if she ever wishes she could go back to her normal life. This includes doing normal things like going out for a bite to eat.

For Teigen, she does not mind being a celebrity at all. She told fans that she appreciates bein recognized in public, just as long as people do not make things weird.

Chrissy Teigen reveals how to reserve the best restaurants

When it comes to reserving a spot at some of the best restaurants in town, Teigen was asked if she just pays to avoid the line. Turns out, Teigen calls restaurants just like everybody else, though she does have a trick to getting the host or hostess to take her seriously.

Whenever she calls a local eatery, Teigen makes sure to mention her name right off the bat, and when her husband is dining with her, she slips his name in there as well.

As you can imagine, Teigen and Legend probably do not get turned down very often when they try to make reservations at a restaurant. Even still, her tactic might be worth trying if you ever have trouble reserving a seat.

That said, it helps when you are Chrissy Teigen and John Legend and have a little star power in your corner.
