A Pinterest search later, I found the perfect hot chocolate recipe and it seemed simple enough. Since I was hosting a cookie exchange, I figured hot chocolate would be pair perfect with the cookies.
As soon as everyone arrived, I whipped up a batch of hot chocolate. I didn't want to make a whole pot of hot chocolate and no one wanted any. It probably took me maybe ten or fifteen minutes.
First I mixed the dry ingredients together and added water.
I heated that until it started to boil.
Then I add four cups of milk and heated it until it was warm. I actually used my 4 cup measuring cup probably for the first time ever..
To serve, I ladled into mugs and let everyone add their own toppings. I had whipped cream, mini marshmallows, and crushed candy canes (well.. more like crushed candy cane globs).
The hot chocolate was quite delicious. However, in the future I would definitely use the whole milk (or at least 2% milk) like the recipe called for. 1% milk did not make the hot chocolate very thick. I also used dark cocoa which I would use again.
It said it made 5 cups and well I got 3.5 mugfuls. I'm sure I could cut the recipe in half so I could make a single serving. Definitely worth the math.
