Hot (luscious) chocolate

serves 4

3 Cups whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons dutch-processed cocoa powder

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pour milk and cream in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Whisk in the cocoa and sugar. Bring to a boil (make sure to keep an eye on it cause it can boil over quickly!) Once it begins to boil, turn off the heat, and stir in the vanilla and chocolate chips. Whisk until smooth. Serve with whipped cream and crushed peppermints

Note: feel free to add your favorite liquor like peppermint schnapps or Grand Marnier for a fun adult treat!
