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.

For sweet stirrers, prop in peppermint sticks. This homemade treat is far less expensive than in a coffee shop.
