Ingredients

  • 4 cups whole milk
  • ¼ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate bar, finely chopped
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows, plus extra for topping

Instructions

  • Add the milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt to a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir often. As soon as the milk is steaming and tiny bubbles appear along the edges of the saucepan. Do not boil. Remove from the heat — about 5-8 minutes.
  • Add the chopped chocolate and stir until smooth and completely melted. Stir in the vanilla. Next, add 1 cup of miniature marshmallows and allow them to sit for about 1 minute. Then, stir gently until partially melted and fluffy.
  • Pour into mugs, add extra marshmallows on top, and enjoy!
