Just what I was looking for! I made an individual portion by quartering the recipe to: 1 cup milk (I used 1%), 1 Tbsp cocoa powder, 2 Tbsp sugar, and 1 oz chocolate. Put it all in a mug, microwaved for one minute, stirred with a fork, and microwaved for another minute. Easy and delicious. -
Ultra-good is right! Delicious with whipped cream or marshmallows! Thanks for the recipe!

I've been taste testing hot chocolates and this one is excellent! I used 2% milk and added 1tbsp cornstarch to give it thickness and 2tsp of vanilla extract to add even more chocolate richness. Just wonderful. -
WHOA. The name of this recipe does not disappoint! Super velvety, decadent, and comforting. I used unsweetened coconut milk (that's all we had on hand), omitted the salt, and added a sprinkle of coffee and it turned out phenomenal. I topped it with homemade whipped cream, but I'll be adding Bailey's tonight ;] This was immediately saved as a go-to recipe on Pinterest! -
Very good. I used skim milk and it was still creamy. Use the best chocolate you have on hand. I've found that is what impacts the "graininess" factor most. Vallahorna 66% was fantastic. I am thinking of reducing the sugar... P.S. Halves and Quarters well

Add 1/4 tsp vanilla extract -
A really decadent treat to warm us up on a blustery day. I had to use chocolate chips in place of the bittersweet chocolate but I thought it was still excellent. Didn't have any whipped cream but will be sure to do that next time too. Thx for the treat!
