Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup butter, melted
1-1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup hot cocoa mix
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cup flour
1 cup jet puffed marshmallow bits

Steps:

Heat oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Mix melted butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Add the hot cocoa mix, cocoa, salt, and flour and mix until combined. Stir in the marshmallow bits. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until set in middle. Allow to cool completely before frosting with marshmallow frosting (below), if desired.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use makes a big difference in the final product. Use a chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own, with a cocoa content of at least 50%.
Choose the right milk: Whole milk will give you the richest and creamiest hot chocolate, but you can use any type of milk you like. If you are using skim or low-fat milk, you may want to add a little bit of butter or cream to give it a richer flavor.
Don't overheat the chocolate: When you are melting the chocolate, be careful not to overheat it. Overheated chocolate can become grainy and lose its flavor.
Add flavorings: You can add all sorts of flavorings to your hot chocolate, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, or peppermint extract. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or marshmallows on top.
Serve it hot: Hot chocolate is best served hot and fresh. If you are making it ahead of time, you can reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat.

Conclusion:

Double Hot Chocolate is a delicious and indulgent treat that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a hot chocolate that is rich, creamy, and full of flavor. So next time you need a warm and comforting drink, give Double Hot Chocolate a try.
