  • Mini marshmallows, for serving
  • Salted caramel, for serving
  • Chocolate syrup, for serving

DIRECTIONS:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon and nutmeg over medium warmth till heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from warmth and stir in Kahlúa.

I count number sipping on my first hot chocolate again within the Poconos Mountains whilst my dad was educating me methods to ski. They had the boxed cocoa blend and it was the coziest, most comforting drink I might ever have at the mountaintop included in snow.



This was really the basically time I might have hot chocolate. My mom was very strict on having “no sweets” within the house. But little did I understand which you just might really make hot chocolate from scratch so surely with basically a handful of meals that’s already sitting on your pantry!



With home made hot chocolate, you may manage the sweetness and indulgent chocolate ranges to style – the boxed blend is all the time just a bit too solid for me. But the greatest edge concerning the home made model is the Kahlúa! Yes, it really is strictly an “adults only” drink. Just upload a touch of Kahlúa to your piping hot chocolate and you’ll have a cozy, grown-up hot chocolate. And you can’t overlook about these marshmallows slathered in salted caramel and a drizzle of melted chocolate. I mean, that’s the basically method to have hot chocolate, right?



And with the holidays proper round the corner, you might even present this to chums and family. Simply combine the dry meals and throw them suitable into a lovely jar with a ribbon and you’re set. It doesn’t get easier, or cheaper, than that!
