Homemade hot chocolate is infinitely better than boxed mix. And our recipe is extra decadent, thanks to the cup of actual chocolate (not just cocoa powder).

Best Hot Chocolate

c. whole milk

c. sugar

cocoa powder

c. chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)

vanilla extract

Whipped cream,

Chocolate shavings,

Can. I like that you don't need to defrost it.

Do you buy whipped cream from the can or the tub?

No such thing as too much chocolate to chocolate lovers. I used skim milk and truvia, and dark chocolate chips and I'll say yes to this. Accidentally left out the vanilla, but it still tastes great.

Delish . Threw in some marshmallows . Topped w whipped cream and chocolate syrup.   Yummmm

Delcious! So chocolatey, it's perfect for the chocolate lover!

WAYYYYY too much chocolate. For 2 cups of milk you should use half a cup of chocolate chips max. The cocoa powder isn't really necessary either. I added 2 dashes of cinnamon and 1 dash of chile powder or cayenne pepper. I feel bad about giving this one star but nothing about this recipe offers anything unique or even correct on making hot chocolate.

Homemade hot chocolate is infinitely better than boxed mix. And our recipe is extra decadent, thanks to the cup of actual chocolate (not just cocoa powder). For a perfect cup of cocoa every time, here's what to remember. 

Whole milk is preferable. 

When you're drinking hot cocoa, you're most likely trying to be festive and cozy, not healthy. Go all out with whole milk. Remember, fat = flavor. If you only have skim or low-fat, don't worry. This recipe will still totally work. 

Watch the milk! 

If you walk away as it's coming to a simmer on the stovetop, it will likely boil over. Trust us, this has happened to us too many times to count. 

Use your favorite kind of chocolate. 

We're partial to semi-sweet (60% cocoa) or bittersweet (70%). But if you like your cocoa a little bit sweeter and creamier, feel free to use milk chocolate. We usually use chocolate chips because they're always in our pantry. But if you want to splurge on a nice bar of chocolate, go for it. It'll be worth it!

Perfection in a cup! Thank you for this great recipe. No more Nestle or Swiss Miss for me!

Perfect sweetness and cocoa level! Thank you!!!

This is the best homemade hot cocoa ever!!! I made it for my family and everyone loved it! literally took me 5 minutes to make, so easy! Thanks for the amazing recipe!

Rich and chocolatey! Rave reviews when I've served it. I used the cheap cocoa I had at home and everyone loved it. I'm sure it's even better with better quality cocoa, but it's still awesome with whatever's on sale! I quadruple the dry ingredients and keep it on hand, so all I have to do when I want a cup, is add the water &amp; milk, and vanilla. I've made it without the vanilla accidentally and it's still delicious. I'm going to mix up a huge batch of the dry ingredients and gift it to my sister and Dad for Christmas. Thanks for sharing!

This was perfect! I love rich “drinking chocolate” when I’m at a nice coffee shop, but at home, I usually want something more mellow. This was it! Still totally flavorful (and a zillion times better than store bought), but I’m glad it only calls for cocoa and not chopped chocolate. My husband and I shared some with whipped cream after our daughter went to bed and saved the leftovers for her to have tomorrow. She’ll be thrilled! This is becoming our go-to hot cocoa recipe for sure!
