Use your favorite chocolate or chocolate chips, I prefer 70% chocolate.
Make extra to gift or have more for later. Adjust the number of servings in the recipe by clicking the number of servings in the recipe card & sliding the bar until the recipe is the right size.
Add more sugar to cocoa if desired.
Choose whole milk for the creamiest hot chocolate.
