Why you'll love this recipe! Indulgent - Forget everything you know about store-bought hot chocolate packets. My easy homemade hot chocolate is made with melted dark chocolate, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla to make it irresistibly luxurious. Adult-friendly - A little bourbon in each sip brings the après ski vibes to any occasion. Need a kid-friendly drink? Just skip the booze! So simple - Just one pot, a handful of ingredients, and about 10 minutes on the stove.
