My family loves hot chocolate! As soon as there is a chill in the air, my wife and kids beg me to make my infamous easy homemade hot chocolate recipe. And even though it doesn’t get very cold here in Arizona, we still can’t resist curling up with a cup of the best hot chocolate made from scratch.
You can add whipped cream, marshmallows, cinnamon or whatever you like to this recipe. This is real hot chocolate, rich and thick. We don’t do ready made hot cocoa packets around here!
This 5 minute recipe is simple and easy. Just get your favorite chocolate (I used semi-sweet chocolate chips), milk, and chocolate syrup. Yes, that’s a lot of chocolate, just how I like it.
So grab a cup, get a good book or sit by the fireplace and enjoy! It makes a cold Fall or Winter day not so bad after all! Looking for more hot chocolate recipes? Try these:
