And the result is <em>so<\/em> much richer, creamier and flavorful than any store-bought mix. Feel free to customize your hot chocolate to make it as bitter or sweet, light or bold, or infused with whatever fun add-ins (peppermint, espresso, caramel, etc) that you prefer. You can also opt to use dairy milk or whichever plant-based milk that you prefer. And of course, don&#8217;t forget the toppings &#8212; whipped cream, marshmallows or chocolate shavings are always a good idea!<\/p>\n<p>What I love most about homemade hot chocolate is how effortlessly it transforms a simple moment into something cozy and special. Whether you\u2019re snuggling up on the couch, making a quick batch for the kids, or serving it up for a large holiday gathering, this recipe is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.<\/p>\n<p>So grab your favorite mug, and let\u2019s make some homemade hot chocolate together!<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Homemade Hot Chocolate Recipe | 1-Minute Video<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"adthrive-video-player in-post\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\" data-video-id=\"6avgjBrv\" data-player-type=\"default\" override-embed=\"default\">\n\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-12-14T15:49:46.000Z\" \/>\n\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Homemade Hot Chocolate Recipe\" \/>\n\t\t<meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"This homemade hot chocolate recipe is easy to make, full of rich chocolate flavor, and always so cozy and comforting.\" \/>\n\t\t<meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/thumbs\/6avgjBrv-720.jpg\" \/>\n\t\t<meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/videos\/6avgjBrv.mp4\" \/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-82981\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-1.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-1-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-1-1100x1650.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-1-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-1-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-1-550x825.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Hot Chocolate Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few quick notes about the homemade hot chocolate ingredients you will need to make this recipe:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Milk: <\/strong>Plain milk is my favorite creamy, velvety base to use when making homemade hot chocolate. Feel free to use dairy milk or your favorite plant-based milk, such as oat, almond or soy milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Semisweet chocolate chips:\u00a0<\/strong>Basic semisweet chocolate chips add rich chocolate flavor and a hint of sweetness to the drink, as well as help to give it a slightly thicker and luxurious texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cocoa powder:\u00a0<\/strong>Unsweetened cocoa powder helps to boost the intensity of the chocolate flavor while giving you a bit more control over the sweetness of the drink.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:\u00a0<\/strong>Feel free to add as much or as little additional sugar as you would like to sweeten the drink to taste. You can either just use basic white granulated sugar, cane sugar, or whatever sweetener you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:\u00a0<\/strong>A hint of vanilla extract warms up the flavor of the drink, enhancing the chocolatey richness of each sip.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:\u00a0<\/strong>Don&#8217;t skip the salt! A pinch of fine sea salt sharpens the flavor of the chocolate and really makes the flavors pop!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toppings (optional): <\/strong>Finally, feel free to top your homemade hot chocolate with whatever toppings you love best &#8212; whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate shavings, you name it!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-82982\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-2.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-2-400x589.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-2-1100x1619.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-2-768x1130.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-Recipe-2-1043x1536.jpg 1043w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How To Make Hot Chocolate<\/h2>\n<p>Step-by-step instructions for how to make hot chocolate are included in the recipe below, but here are a few extra tips to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Heat milk slowly.\u00a0<\/strong>Heat the milk gently over medium heat so that it doesn&#8217;t accidentally scorch or form a skin on top.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whisk constantly.\u00a0<\/strong>Be sure to also whisk the milk occasionally as it heats so that the bottom doesn&#8217;t accidentally burn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sweeten to taste.\u00a0<\/strong>I recommend starting with around 1\/3 cup of additional sweetener, but please feel free to use more or less sweetener to taste. (The sweetness of the type of chocolate chips or milk that you use can vary significantly, so it&#8217;s always a good idea to give it a taste and tweak as needed.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Warm your mugs.\u00a0<\/strong>If you would like your hot chocolate to stay nice and warm, rinse your mugs with hot water just before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-82983\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-5.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-5-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-5-1100x1650.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-5-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-5-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-5-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-5-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-5-550x825.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Hot Chocolate Variations<\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few fun ways that you&#8217;re welcome to customize a cup of homemade hot chocolate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Peppermint Hot Chocolate:\u00a0<\/strong>Add a hint of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Zr1Hdx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">peppermint extract<\/a> and garnish with candy canes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mexican Hot Chocolate:\u00a0<\/strong>Add a pinch of cinnamon, a dash of cayenne and a drizzle of vanilla extract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate:\u00a0<\/strong>Add a scoop of creamy peanut butter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mocha Hot Chocolate:\u00a0<\/strong>Add a shot of espresso.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lavender Hot Chocolate:\u00a0<\/strong>Steep 1 teaspoon of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4g4gWjR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">culinary-grade dried lavender<\/a> in the milk before adding the other ingredients, then strain and proceed with the recipe as directed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spiked Hot Chocolate:\u00a0<\/strong>Add a shot of Bailey&#8217;s, Kahlua or bourbon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-82985\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-9.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-9-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-9-1100x1650.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-9-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-9-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-9-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-9-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Homemade-Hot-Chocolate-9-550x825.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">More Warm Drink Recipes To Try!<\/h2>\n<p>Looking for more warm and cozy drink recipes to try?
