Ingredients

Hot Chocolate:

  • 4 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Garnishes:

  • Espresso shots
  • 1 toffee candy bar, crumbled (recommended: Heath Bar)
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Cinnamon-Sugar, recipe follows

Directions

Make the hot chocolate:

In a medium saucepan, heat 4 cups of the milk over low heat, being very careful not to let the milk boil. In a small bowl, mix together the cocoa, sugar, and the remaining 1/2 cup milk. Add the cocoa mixture to the warm milk, and continue to warm the cocoa until hot.

Pour into 4 mugs and serve along with the garnishes.

For the hot chocolate bar:

On a large serving tray, arrange the mugs of hot chocolate, a small pitcher of espresso shots, a bowl of crumbled toffee candy bar, a bowl of mini-marshmallows, and a bowl of Cinnamon-Sugar. Invite your guests to flavor and garnish their hot chocolate as they desire.

Cinnamon-Sugar:

  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Cut the vanilla bean in half, lengthwise. Using the back of a knife, scrape along the inside of the vanilla bean to collect the seeds. Scrape vanilla bean seeds into a small bowl. Add sugar and cinnamon and stir to combine. Set aside in a small serving bowl.

    Love this idea! When making this for my g/f's and I (who are always on diets, I decided to try skim milk instead of whole, and splenda instead of sugar. Still awesome! I was a little worried about the exchanges but it was still very yummy. Will definitely make this again, maybe add some Kahlua next time. With a little coffee mixed in, who needs Starbucks?

    A "Hot Chocolate Bar"? -- LOL

    I've got young nieces, a daughter and an assortment other chocolate fiends in the family. What a clever idea for the kids around the holidays!

    If I put aside a bottle of Peppermint Schnapps and Kahlua, I've probably got the adults taken care of as well... ;

    This is such a great idea. I put together the hot chocolate bar complete with mini marshmallows, Sulpice Chocolat chocolate bars www.sulpicechocolat.com, whipped cream and the cinnamon sugar. It was a huge hit. Thanks for the suggestion.
