Ingredients
- 3 cups Hiland Dairy Milk (I use whole milk, but any will work great)
- 1 cup Hiland Dairy Heavy Cream
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips (milk chocolate or dark chocolate are great too)
- 1 can condensed milk (14 oz)
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
- In a large pot on medium heat, pour the 3 cups Hiland Milk and 1 cup Hiland Heavy Cream. Heat until hot but not boiling.
- In a separate medium size bowl, add the ½ cup cocoa powder and ½ cup chocolate chips. Use a ladle to pour 2-3 ladlefuls of the milk mixture into the bowl of chocolate. Whisk the hot milk with the chocolate until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Pour the bowl of chocolate mixture back into the pot of milk. Whisk all together until combined.
- Move heat to low. Add the can (14 oz) of condensed milk, ½ teaspoon of vanilla and ½ teaspoon of salt to the pot and whisk everything together until smooth.
- Let the hot chocolate heat in the pot on low while serving or pour the hot chocolate into a crockpot on low for easy serving as well.
- Pour a mugful and add some marshmallows!
