Homemade Hot Chocolate.


Ever crave hot chocolate but don't have a packet of Swiss Miss handy? I do! So I searched long and hard (ok, not really, I googled it and went with the first thing that came up) and have found a delicious single cup hot chocolate recipe. It's really simple, quick to whip up, and uses ingredients you will most likely already have on hand. (Adapted from Hershey's Hot Cocoa For One)

Single Cup Hot Chocolate
1 cup milk
1/4 tsp vanilla
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa (or 3 if you're feeling crazy)

Combine vanilla, salt, sugar, cocoa, and a tablespoon from the 1 cup of milk in a bowl and stir until you've created a paste. Warm remaining milk to desired temperature in a microwave or on the stove. Add chocolate paste to warm milk and stir to combine.

If you're feeling extra crazy, you can add a wee bit (I said wee bit, don't go too crazy) of Butterscotch or Peppermint Schnapps and it'll change your life.


Now you've got a new, easy recipe that'll carry you through the fall and winter. You're welcome! ;)
