Hot Chocolate with Chocolate Chips
Our stovetop hot chocolate with chocolate chips only uses 4-ingredients! It’s rich, creamy, and the perfect drink for a cool Fall evening.
Temperatures are finally starting to cool off; especially, in the evenings. It’s almost hot cocoa season.
So, Kim and I decided to share a super simple hot chocolate with chocolate chips recipe.
As the name implies, Kim made a rich, sweet hot chocolate using milk chocolate chips. This one is more of an instant hot chocolate instead of a homemade hot chocolate mix.
Best of all, the recipe is done in 10-minutes or less! You can make it on the stove or in the microwave. If you’re feeling adventurous, then consider creating your own homemade marshmallows.
In the meantime, let’s get started on this hot chocolate.
How to make hot chocolate with chocolate chips:
First, grab a large saucepan. Add in the milk, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract.
Next, place the saucepan over low heat and start stirring. Be careful, don’t let the mixture come to a boil.
Should the liquid start to simmer, pull it off the heat and keep stirring. Then, once the chocolate chips have completely melted, turn off the heat.
Stir the hot cocoa for a few seconds to make sure everything is combined. Last, transfer it to the mugs and serve it with your favorite toppings.
That’s it, your hot chocolate with chocolate chips recipe is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy it and wish you all the best 🙂
