This hot cocoa recipe is so incredibly easy, and yet so many people have never tried it. The reason for this is because as easy as it is, it’s that much easier to just buy instant hot cocoa packets. Heck, most people probably don’t even know that you can make hot cocoa in this manner, but if you’re reading this, that’s all about to change. Here’s how to make the easiest and richest hot chocolate recipe around.
Your Favorite Dark Chocolate
The first thing you’ll want to do is go to the supermarket and buy your very favorite brand of dark chocolate. Buy a handful of bars, because you’re going to be eventually melting these very bars into the hot chocolate. Bring the chocolate home, and break them up into a bunch of pieces for later.
Heat Up The Milk
Next, you’ll want to boil milk in a small or medium-sized pot over medium heat. Stir occasionally so that the milk doesn’t get hard at the surface. When the milk is at a boil, start adding the various pieces of dark chocolate.
Stir It Up
Now that the dark chocolate is sitting happily in boiling milk, you need to stir it consistently at a slow pace. The dark chocolate will start to melt beautifully into the milk, to the point where you’ll have a delicious-looking brown hot chocolate in the pot. At this point, the recipe is basically done, but you can feel free to add other things such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or even marshmallows.
