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 chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
If you don't have milk on hand, you can use water instead. However, milk will give the hot cocoa a richer flavor.
To make the hot cocoa even more decadent, add a dollop of whipped cream or marshmallows on top.
For a fun twist, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the hot cocoa. It is a fantastic way to give hot cocoa some extra delicious flavor and aromas.
You can also experiment with different flavorings, such as vanilla extract, peppermint extract, or even a pinch of chili powder.

Conclusion:

Hershey's hot cocoa is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is time-saving, easy-to-prepare, versatile, and customizable.
