How to Make Homemade Hot Chocolate on a Stove Top

Aunt Lou here.

I know that hot chocolate is usually thought of for the colder months of the years, but if you have anyone in your life like my children, hot chocolate is requested year round. Cris made a delicious crock pot version of The Best Homemade Hot Chocolate a while back. However, we thought you might like a quicker way to make this yummy chocolaty treat. So now you have this quick, easy and delicious recipe!

I love how simple this recipe. From start to finish, it can be made in less than a half hour. However, the best part is that it is wonderfully rich and creamy. It makes enough for my entire family to enjoy a cup or two and perfect on its own or with some marshmallows placed on top.

If you have a party or get together coming, I highly recommend making this to share with your family and friends. They will all think you are a culinary genius. They don’t even have to know how easy it is to make this amazing chocolaty drink!

      I used 1/2 cup baking cocoa. You can find the amount in the ingredient list on the recipe card. Enjoy!

We love hearing from you, it totally makes our day! Please remember, our comment section is much like our dinner table... You don't have to like everything we serve up, but you do have to use your manners.
