Christmas Countdown 2024 entry # 8 is an easy-peasy recipe for a holiday indulgence: hot cocoa from scratch! I use a Cocomotion machine to make it. If you don't have one, just heat over medium-low heat on the stovetop, stirring often so that you do not scorch the milk :)

Ingredients:
3 c. whole milk
4 oz. chocolate shavings (or finely chopped) -- I used 2 oz. dark, 1 oz. semisweet, and 1 oz. milk; use whichever one(s) you like best
3 T. unsweetened natural cocoa powder
6 T. sugar
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt
optional and recommended: whipped cream + a couple cinnamon redhots to top it off!
Directions:
Add ingredients in order to the Cocomotion (or pan on stovetop). Press the 'on' button to run the cycle (or heat, stirring often, over medium-low heat). Pour into mugs, top with whipped cream (and/or toppings of choice) and enjoy!
