Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Put the milk beverage, chocolate chips, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla in a small saucepan and whisk to combine.
  2. Place the pan over medium-low heat, and heat, while whisking, until the chocolate is melted, the sugar is dissolved, and the beverage is very hot. Whisk in a pinch of salt, if desired.
  3. Let the hot chocolate cool to your desired temperature before serving.
Notes
Microwave Instructions: Heat all ingredients together in a microwave-safe container for 30 seconds. Stir and then continue to heat in 30 second intervals until very hot. Let cool to your desired temperature before serving.

Creamy Tip: To make this hot cocoa even creamier, use 1 cup of milk beverage and ½ cup of dairy-free creamer or lite canned coconut milk.

Serving Options: Top with marshmallows. And don’t be shy! If you love chocolate, dribble a few chips on top for an extra chocolaty bite. It makes a pretty decoration too (any excuse for chocolate is good)! Or stir with a candy cane to add a dose of festive peppermint flavor. OR top it with dairy-free whipped cream and some more chocolate chips!
