Quick Hot Chocolate
Quick Hot Chocolate blends chopped unsweetened baking chocolate with water for deep cocoa flavor, then adds sugar, a touch of salt, and milk for a velvety, steamy cup. It’s smooth, rich, and perfect for cold evenings, especially topped with marshmallows or a drizzle of syrup. Whisking at the end gives it a café-style froth that makes each sip indulgent.
