Clearly you need something milky and chocolatey and warm and delicious to go with those marshmallows that I insisted you make.
Hot chocolate. Made with all those random/open/half empty/spilling all over the cupboards bags of chocolate chips I have in my kitchen.
It only makes sense, don’t you think?
Not rocket science.
Totally just hot chocolate.
Delicious Hot Chocolate
makes one large or two small portions
1 1/2 cups milk (any fat content you fancy)
3 heaping tablespoon bittersweet chocolate chips
2 heaping tablespoons white chocolate chips
In a small saucepan, gently heat milk over low heat. Whisk often so the milk doesn’t burn.
While the milk is heating, bring a medium saucepan with two inches of water to a boil. Place a heat-proof bowl with chocolate pieces over the simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the simmering water. You’re creating a double boiler. Cool, right? Stir the chocolate pieces until melted.
Add the melted chocolate to the hot milk. Whisk together until completely blended and super delicious looking. Pour into mugs and top with marshmallows or slightly sweetened whipped cream.

Made this while skiing in Whistler this weekend and it was awesome. I won’t say I didn’t add anything extra!
That’s what I forgot to make this weekend! Tasty (non-instant) hot chocolate and marshmallows. Party goers will have to come by again next year for them unless I bring them over to the next party.
You have to tell me where you got the cup and saucer!
Well, there’s a bunch of snow outside my house, and its about 10 degrees, and i just made MORE homemade marshmallows today, so i guess its time to make this recipe again. I made it once before, and i had to search for it to make it again because it was that good.
Thanks for sharing. :)
Definetely must try….since i have plenty of chocolate in my kitchen….and,easy to make,,,,love it!
I finally made this recipe today – YUM! It’s so rich and smooth, it might have to be my new go-to when my chocolate cravings hit! Thanks!!
I had the same problem – an assortment of partially full chocolate chip bags. I melted the chips in the microwave on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds. I didn’t have quite 3 T bittersweet chips, but it was still some of the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had. Thank you!
