When the weather outside is frightful, cozy up with a cup of homemade hot chocolate! Enjoy this recipe as is, or try mixing it up with semi-sweet, milk, or white chocolate and your choice of toppings.
Ingredients
- 3 cups milk
- ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mini marshmallows or other topping, for garnish (optional)
Preparation
Add milk and sugar to a sauce pot over medium heat. Whisk cocoa powder in while the milk heats so it doesn't clump or scorch, then simmer for 3–4 minutes.
Reduce heat to low, stir in chocolate chips until melted, then add vanilla extract.
Serve hot chocolate garnished with mini marshmallows, whipped cream, shaved chocolate, a cinnamon stick, or your desired topping.
