How to Make Hot Chocolate
Why bother learning how to make hot chocolate from scratch when there's instant? Because the beverage you get from those powder packets with freeze-dried marshmallows doesn't come anywhere close to the rich, sweet, deep flavor of homemade. Plus you get to add as many fresh marshmallows as your heart desires.

True chocolate-lovers will want to use bittersweet chocolate, which carries a more pronounced flavor than semisweet in this warming beverage.
