Hot chocolate is always best when it's homemade. It's also nearly as fast to make it homemade as to make it from a mix, you just heat up the milk then stir everything together. This is rich and creamy, sweet but not too sweet. The chocolate is the star of this show, so use a good quality one...not only will it taste better but the chocolate will melt smoother also. I like Ghirardelli brand. This recipe is enough for either two large mugs or 4 smaller mugs.

Steps

1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the milk and cream together just until small bubbles start to form around the edges. Do not let it come to a boil.
2

Stir in the salt, vanilla extract and chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. Lastly, stir in the confectioners sugar...start with 2 tsp and add more if you'd like it sweeter.
3

Top with marshmallows or whipped cream and enjoy!

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
