Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup butter, melted
1-1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup hot cocoa mix
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cup flour
1 cup jet puffed marshmallow bits

Steps:

Heat oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Mix melted butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Add the hot cocoa mix, cocoa, salt, and flour and mix until combined. Stir in the marshmallow bits. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until set in middle. Allow to cool completely before frosting with marshmallow frosting (below), if desired.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better your hot chocolate will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
Don't overheat the milk. Overheating the milk will cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy. Heat the milk over low heat until it is just simmering.
Whisk constantly. Whisking the chocolate and milk together will help to create a smooth, rich hot chocolate.
Add flavorings to taste. You can add a variety of flavorings to your hot chocolate, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, or chili powder.
Top with whipped cream or marshmallows. Whipped cream or marshmallows are a delicious and decadent way to top off your hot chocolate.

Conclusion:

Double hot chocolate is a rich, decadent, and delicious treat that is perfect for a cold winter day. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a double hot chocolate that is sure to warm you up from the inside out.
