Ingredients
list of 7 items
• 2 ounces chocolate or about ¼ cup of chocolate chips (use dark or semi-sweet for a richer flavor)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups milk (I use 2%)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup sugar (or more or less, to taste)
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• Optional toppings: whipped cream, marshmallows, shaved chocolate
list end
Instructions
list of 2 items
1. Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate melts, the sugar dissolves, and the beverage reaches
desired temperature.
2. Pour into a mugs and garnish with desired toppings.
list end
Notes
• Choose a high-quality dark or semisweet chocolate for the best, rich flavor. I like
Lindt 78% dark chocolate
. Chocolate chips will also work!
• Use 2% milk (or even whole milk or cream) for the smoothest, creamiest flavor and texture.
• Warm the hot chocolate over low heat -- do not let it boil -- and whisk frequently to help the ingredients dissolve and combine.
• Adjust the amount of sugar to suit your taste. If you want a less-sweet hot chocolate, cut the sugar in half. If your kids like a sweeter drink, add
more sugar.
