Ingredients

  • 4 cups (960 ml) milk
  • 1/4 cup (22 grams) cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 of a 1.55 oz. milk chocolate bar (I used Hershey's)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Splash of vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. In a small bowl whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Pour 1 cup of the milk into the sauce pan and add the cocoa powder and sugar mixture. Whisk until smooth and all of the lumps are removed.
  • Add the remaining milk and whisk together well. Heat the hot chocolate mixture until very warm, but do not boil.
  • Remove the hot chocolate from the heat and add ½ of a bar of milk chocolate. Mix until the chocolate is melted. Add vanilla if desired.
  • Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and enjoy!
