I was messing around in my kitchen one day and was craving hot cocoa. Since I only had dark chocolate on hand, I used that, and for a festive touch added cinnamon. Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream or marshmallows, if desired. Serve hot.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes

Yield Makes 5 3/4 cups dry mix or 92 eight-ounce servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/4 cups cocoa
1 tablespoon table salt
Whole milk for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine sugar, cocoa, and salt, and whisk to combine well. Store the mixture in an airtight container.
  • For individual servings, pour 1 cup whole milk into a microwave-safe mug, and microwave on high just until hot. Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa mix, and stir to dissolve. For a larger batch of cocoa, warm the milk in a saucepan set over medium-low heat, taking care not to let the milk boil; as it warms, stir in 2 tablespoons of mix for each cup of milk.

Tips:

- Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your hot cocoa. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for a rich, chocolatey flavor. - Don't boil the milk: When heating the milk, be careful not to let it boil. Boiling the milk will change the flavor and texture of the cocoa. - Add spices for extra flavor: If you want to add some extra flavor to your hot cocoa, try adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom. - Top with marshmallows or whipped cream: For a decadent treat, top your hot cocoa with marshmallows or whipped cream.
