Step 1

Add the milk to a small saucepan over low to medium heat.

Step 2

When the milk has slightly warmed for about 2 to 3 minutes, add in the chocolate chips, whisking until melted.

Step 3

Add a pinch of salt, and stir that into the mixture.

Step 4

Warm the mixture, stirring constantly, until small bubbles start to form around the edge of the liquid on the sides of the pan; but don't let it boil, or it will very likely curdle.

Step 5

When it's done, pour your hot chocolate into your favorite mug, and top with your favorite topping, whether it be marshmallows or whipped cream.
