Homemade hot chocolate that is creamy. This hot chocolate is very flavorful and delectable because of the addition of cocoa powder and chocolate chips! in just a few minutes.
You beautiful, creamy, sweet stuff. If you were curious about how I choose to spend each December night, it would be curled up with my hands encircling a warm mug of hot chocolate. If the hot chocolate is garnished with freshly made whipping cream and a generous amount of chopped dark chocolate, bonus points.
