Rich, creamy, extra chocolate-y, and SO. GOOD. This Homemade Hot Cocoa is the only recipe you'll need this winter!

Ingredients

4 ½ cups milk
⅔ cup chocolate chips
⅓ cup sugar
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 Tablespoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
Whipped cream, for topping
Vanilla marshmallows, for topping

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a large pot, combine milk, chocolate chips, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt.
Stir with a whisk over low heat until chocolate has completely melted and the milk is warmed through. Don't overheat!
Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream and marshmallows.

Notes

Be careful not to overheat the milk!
I used bittersweet chocolate chips, but you can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate...whatever you want!
This recipe keeps really well in the fridge.
