The best store-bought hot chocolate is Cadbury, in the purple package (In my opinion) But if you want to make it home-made, there are few ways: - Milk + Cocoa + Boiled water - Milk + Cocoa + Brown sugar + Boiled water - Milk + Cocoa + White sugar + Boiled water - Milk + Nesquick chocolate milk powder + Boiled water - Milk + chocolate milk syrup + Boiled water - Milk + melted chocolate chips/ chocolate blocks for cooking + Boiled water And top it off with marsh mallows and/ or whipped cream! :) (Also mixing it with a candy cane gives it a minty flavour, or a splash of egg nog is nice too!) Goodluck!!

I don't know it off the top of my head but if you go to the store and buy a box of Hershey's cocoa there is a hot chocolate recipe on the side. It's pretty good you just add vanilla, milk, and sugar. Marshmallows too.

Erm, Melt galaxy chocolate(if your american, or do not live in Europe, any chocolate you love!) Melt it in the microave (in a small bowl). Then mix it with milk, until thinkens and turns and cholatey, (add more milk or water ,to make it thin if too thick) Then go to your local store and buy mini marshmellows, put them on top and there you are!.

Step 1 Obtain some good quality chocolate. This can be milk, dark, or even white chocolate, depending on your preferences and flavors you wish to add. Step 2 Chop the chocolate finely on a clean cutting board or counter. One of the easiest ways to chop the chocolate is to use a serrated knife. Make sure the cutting surface has not been exposed to onions or other strong smelling foods. Residual odors can contaminate the chocolate and impart undesirable flavors.The amount of chocolate you use depends on how strong and rich you want the beverage to be. A good starting point is 25g of chocolate per cup of liquid. If you need more chocolate, simply add it. 3 Turn the stove top to a medium-low or low setting. Pour milk or water into the pot and gently add the chopped chocolate. An alternative to direct heat is to double boil. If you choose to double boil, place a small pot of water on high heat and put a metal bowl on top. Add the chocolate and stir until fully melted turning the heat down some once the water has reached boiling point. Then add cream at 1:1 to the chocolate and stir, effectively making a panache. The panache will be added to your mug of hot milk when finished. Add any flavorings suggested below to the panache while stirring in the cream. (Using the double boil method should make it more difficult to burn your Chocolate goodness, but be careful with the bowl as it will get hot!) Some people prefer milk for a richer flavor, while others favor water. The choice here is yours, but whatever you use, make sure each serving of hot chocolate is at least 4oz (120ml) for a richer beverage and at most 8oz (240ml) for a thinner beverage. This is the point where you can add liqueur if you wish. Doing so now will burn off some of the alcohol and mellow out the flavor. Spices and other flavorings can be added here as well. To increase their flavor presence in the hot chocolate, they will need the opportunity to steep for a longer period of time. However, if you want a subtler, less pronounced flavor, hold off for now. Step 4 Stir continuously with a whisk until the liquid and chocolate combine completely. Just when you think the two are incorporated, you might notice black flecks scattered in the chocolaty matrix. These flecks are bits of unmelted chocolate, so you should continue to stir until they disappear. Sometimes, whisking vigorously is necessary to dissolve unmelted chocolate completely.If the mixture becomes too hot, or you feel that it might burn, remove pot from the heat and continue to stir, allowing the temperature to reduce. Put pot back on heat once the mixture has cooled. Step 5 Add desired flavorings once you have a fully emulsified liquid in the pot. Liqueur can also be added, but if you do so now, you might find the flavor too strong because the alcohol will not have had a chance to evaporate. Step 6 Turn off the heat and pour in cups immediately afterwards. Garnish with whatever you wish, such as mint leaves, cinnamon sticks, or whipped cream. Step 7 Enjoy! And have fun with trying out all sorts of variations!
