Homemade Hot Chocolate

The best thing about this luxurious and indulgent hot chocolate, is that it’s incredibly easy to make! This recipe can also be made using leftover chocolate bars (yes, I’m sure there are people out there who have leftover chocolate pieces from time to time. I have no idea who they are, but anything is possible!) It’s also fun to personalize it based on your own chocolate preferences. You can use more milk chocolate, more dark chocolate, or make it more or less sweet. But if you’re just looking for a straight-up simple and perfect homemade hot chocolate recipe as-is, this is the one!
