This is the recipe for rich, creamy hot chocolate made
from scratch, using dark bitter chocolate. My kids love this with marshmallows
floating on the top and a candy cane to mix it. My husband prefers the big
marshmallows, but I like it with a bunch of little marshmallows.
I love to find old fashioned rustic Candy canes, which are easier to find during the winter holiday season, to use in the Hot Chocolate. When you use the Candy canes to stir the chocolate, the mint flavor transfers to the chocolate and creates a nice slightly minty chocolate flavor. It’s almost like mint chocolate ice cream! Just don’t let too much of the Candy cane melt into the hot chocolate as they are quite sweet and minty. I make sure to take them out of the mug after a while…

Of course, hot chocolate made from scratch is the
best, so try this over the store bought mixes, and add on these toppings to
bring out the extra depth in flavor!
