- 4 cups 2 per cent or whole milk
- 1 cup chopped milk chocolate
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Garnish:
- Whipped cream or marshmallows
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
Preparation
Bring the milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium to medium-high heat. Add the chocolate and cocoa powder. Whisk until the chocolate has melted. Simmer for an additional minute, whisking continuously. Remove from the heat and pour into mugs. Top with dollops of whipped cream or marshmallows, sprinkle with cocoa powder, and serve.
Hot hint: For a festive touch, sprinkle with tinted sugars instead of cocoa. Try spooky orange for Halloween, merry red and green for Christmas, cool blue for Hanukkah, or romantic red for Valentine's Day.

Hi, Holly and Katie! How about calling it hot chococoa! That way you have an original name that incorporates correct spelling from both the ingredients. Hot cocolat just looks like a spelling error. As a website editor, I pounce on these regularly... I'd drink "chococoa" any day!
