If you’re looking to have an amazing mug of hot chocolate, make this recipe! Hot chocolate from shops is bad 99% of the time, it’s usually just some bland mix that they add to hot water. My version has a super rich chocolate flavor and topped with a mountain of whipped cream! It’s also quick and easy to make, there’s no reason to ever use a pre-made mix
