Hot Chocolate Bar with Gold Chocolate Coins
Ingredients
- 4 cups whole milk
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate chopped
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- whipped cream for topping
- mini marshmallows
- gold foil-wrapped chocolate coins
- crushed peppermint candy
Instructions
- Warm the milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming, with small bubbles forming at the edge, but not boiling.
- Whisk in the chopped chocolate, cocoa powder and salt, stirring until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
- Stir in the vanilla and remove from heat.
- Pour into mugs.
- Set out small bowls of whipped cream, marshmallows, gold chocolate coins and crushed peppermint so everyone builds their own.
- Serve immediately, while the chocolate is hot enough to melt the marshmallows on contact.
Good to Know
Keep the chocolate milk base warm in a slow cooker on low for up to 2 hours, so the bar runs itself all evening.
