Is there anything better than a cup of hot cocoa on a cold, winter day? Hot chocolate is the key to our snow days! The boys always request it after they’ve been out playing in the snow. 

Which is so nostalgic for me! It’s a memory from my own childhood. My mom or my sister would always make hot chocolate to warm us up after being out in the snow. 

While it may seem easier to just open a packet of hot chocolate mix and heat up some water, but we all know the best hot chocolate is homemade! 

Before you dive into the recipes, here are a few tips to help you make the best hot chocolate ever!

Tips to Make the Best Hot Chocolate Ever!

  • Use high-quality chocolate. Good chocolate makes good hot chocolate! It’s definitely worth splurging on the high quality chocolate. 
  • Decide on thickness. Some people like their hot chocolate thick while others like it thinner. The kind of milk you use will determine the thickness. If you like it on the thinner side, use 1% or 2% milk. Like it thick? Use whole milk or even heavy cream!
  • Use about 2 oz. chocolate for every cup of milk. 
  • Sweeten it up! While you may think that using white sugar is the way to go, there are other ways to sweeten up your hot chocolate. Try brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup. 
  • Step by step. In order to make the best hot chocolate, you want to make sure you follow the proper steps. Heat your milk and sugar up first, then add in your chocolate!
