This Is The Most Insanely Easy Homemade Hot Chocolate You’ll Ever Make

GET THE RECIPE HERE.

I love hot chocolate but never have the packets at home. It’s not that I’m against the instant powder (I’m a sucker for Swiss Miss) I just don’t drink enough cocoa to warrant having an entire box of it in my (very small) pantry. What is always in my cupboards is chocolate chips, which means I can still get my hot cocoa fix whenever the cozy craving hits.

Making hot chocolate from scratch is almost as easy as using the store-bought mix. Honestly, all you’re doing is heating up milk in a saucepan and whisking in sugar, cocoa powder and chocolate chips. When the sugar is dissolved and the chips have melted, your perfect cup of cocoa is ready … or is it?

Marshmallow and whipped cream are lovely, but the ultimate topper is a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yes, we’re talking about hot chocolate floats. It may be winter, but ice cream is year round. And this hot and cold drink makes everyone happy, grinches included.
