I made them this hot chocolate, and they loved it. Real milk chocolate melted into hot milk, a mountain of whipped cream on top, grated chocolate and shavings everywhere. Five minutes on the stove, and it&#8217;s the coziest moment of the winter!<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83c\udf6b Real chocolate, not just powder<\/h3>\n<p>When I was a kid, hot chocolate meant a packet of powder. In other words, cocoa and sugar. This homemade hot chocolate recipe uses cocoa AND a bar of milk chocolate chopped fine, because hot chocolate should taste like actual chocolate. It stays pourable, like real hot chocolate, not a thick syrup you eat with a spoon.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udc66 Why milk chocolate<\/h3>\n<p>The first time, I used only dark chocolate. My boys found it too bitter, and honestly, so did I. I switched to milk chocolate: it&#8217;s sweeter, smoother, and way better. If you want a deeper flavour, go half milk chocolate, half dark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My homemade hot chocolate with real melted milk chocolate and cocoa, ready in 10
