How To Make creamy hot chocolate - cassies

Step 1

In a large saucepan, stir together the cocoa, sugar and salt.

Step 2

Pour in the milk, cream and water...Using a whisk, stir to blend the cocoa into the milk. Remain stirring over medium heat,until heated through to your desired temperature...hot enough to melt your marshmallows.
Step 3

Take from heat and add your extracts and cinnamon if using. I add a dollop of marshmallow cream to the bottom of my mug, then it floats to the top as the hot chocolate is ladled in. Enjoy! It's delicious!
