12 Days of Christmas: Day 9 - Hot Chocolate Recipe

This morning, I treated Elijah to his very first cup of hot chocolate made from scratch. It was delicious and filling enough to be called breakfast, but somehow he also managed to eat a waffle.

Here's my recipe for 1 (large) serving. I can usually only drink half of one though as it is very rich.

Ingredients

• 1 cup 2% milk
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (semi-sweet works well, too...or maybe mint chocolate, yum!)
• pinch of salt
• dribble of vanilla extract
• mini marshmallows

Directions

• Heat the milk and cream together over medium heat until hot, but not boiling.
• Add in the chocolate chips and stir until melted.
• Take off the heat and add in salt and vanilla. Stir to combine.
• Pour into mugs and add mini marshmallows.
• Enjoy!

Last weekend before Christmas - are you ready?
