How to Make Homemade Hot Chocolate

During the colder months I love making warm drinks as a treat! Sure, the packets of hot chocolate taste alright and since they are convenient they seem to be what we always grab. But why not try something homemade?!

Here's what you will need for the perfect homemade hot chocolate

• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 quart milk
• 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• Salt
• Whipped cream, this is optional as a little something extra!

1. Put cocoa powder and milk in a sauce pan and stir until your powder becomes a liquid. Add in the chocolate chips and stir occasionally.
2. Bring to boil, contuning to stir occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in your vanilla and pinch of salt.

That’s it! Add whipped cream and marshmallows if you’d like! I’ll definitely be adding that to mine!
