• Alternatively, if you would like a thicker hot chocolate consistency, swap out 1 cup of milk for heavy cream.
• Prepare a hot chocolate bar using things you might already have in your kitchen. Marshmallows, whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate chips, caramel syrup, chocolate syrup, etc. This adds a layer of fun when the kids can fully customize their hot chocolates.
