Notes
Tips for homemade hot chocolate for one:
* For a richer hot chocolate, you can add some straight chocolate! This will create a thicker, creamier hot chocolate and is totally optional!
*Feel free to use whatever kind of milk you want and fits into your diet!
*Make sure you use high quality cocoa! We recommend Rodelle!
*Feel free to adjust the sugar quantities to your taste! Like it sweeter? Add more. Want a darker chocolate taste? Add less.
*If you want to really treat yourself, warm your mug up in the microwave for a a minute to keep the hot chocolate hot longer!
