Time 13m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup water
4 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

Stir cocoa powder and sugar in a pot.
Add water and stir.
Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil two minutes.
Add milk (I use 1 can canned milk and equal water, plus 1 cup of whole milk). Heat until hot.
Add vanilla and serve.

Tips:

Use high-quality cocoa powder: The cocoa powder is the key ingredient in hot chocolate, so it's important to use a high-quality powder. Look for cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and "100% cacao."
Don't use water: Water will dilute the flavor of the hot chocolate. Instead, use milk or a milk alternative.
Sweeten to taste: Hot chocolate can be sweetened with sugar, honey, or another sweetener. Add sweetener gradually until the hot chocolate is to your desired sweetness.
Add flavorings: Hot chocolate can be flavored with a variety of ingredients, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or peppermint. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
Top with whipped cream or marshmallows: Whipped cream or marshmallows are a classic topping for hot chocolate. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess.

Conclusion:

Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Hot Cocoa is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy a cup of hot chocolate that is rich, creamy, and chocolatey.
