A warm cup of delicious chocolate, perfect for a snowy day!
Ingredients
2 cups milk (I used 2%)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne (optional – you can omit this if you don’t want it too spicy)
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate
Optional: marshmallows, chocolate shavings, cinnamon stick for stirring
Directions
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add milk, cocoa powder, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, chili powder, cayenne pepper (if desired).
Mix together with a whisk, add the bittersweet chocolate and heat until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is hot, but not boiling.
Divide hot chocolate into 2 mugs and serve with marshmallows, chocolate shavings and a cinnamon stick.
