list end

list of 2 items

desired temperature.

2. Pour into a mugs and garnish with desired toppings.

list end

Notes

• Choose a high-quality dark or semisweet chocolate for the best, rich flavor. I like

Lindt 78% dark chocolate

. Chocolate chips will also work!

• Use 2% milk (or even whole milk or cream) for the smoothest, creamiest flavor and texture.

• Warm the hot chocolate over low heat -- do not let it boil -- and whisk frequently to help the ingredients dissolve and combine.

• Adjust the amount of sugar to suit your taste. If you want a less-sweet hot chocolate, cut the sugar in half. If your kids like a sweeter drink, add

more sugar.
