Best Hot Chocolate Recipe Ever (at least in my opinion):
Ingredients:
-1/2 cup of sugar
-1/4 of baking cocoa
-A dash of salt
-4 cups of milk
-1/3 cup of hot water
-3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
-Marshmallows (for topping)
-Cinnamon (for topping)
Preparation:
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, baking cocoa, and salt. Then stir in the water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture boils. Boil and stir for 2 minutes then add the milk. Heat to serving temperature, stirring occasionally. Do not boil. Remove mixture from heat and stir in vanilla. Beat with a whisk until foamy. Serve hot and topped with marshmallows.
There are many variations including Cinnamon Cocoa (which is my favorite) where you just add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. There is also a mint variation where you add 1/2 a teaspoon of mint extract OR 3 tablespoons of crushed hard peppermint candy. For Mocha Cocoa, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of powdered instant coffee.
This recipe is originated by Hershey's and does not belong to me.
