Time 12h30m

Yield 3 dozen, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup heavy cream
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 1/4 cups)
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup unsweetened baking chocolate
wooden stick

Steps:

  • 1) Line an 8" x 8" pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • 2) Heat the cream and condensed milk over low heat until steaming.
  • 3) Remove from the heat and add the chocolate; allow it to gently melt.
  • 4) After about 10 minutes, return the chocolate mixture to low heat to completely melt the chocolate.
  • 5) Whisk vigorously until the mixture is thick and shiny.
  • 6) Pour the chocolate mixture into the pan; shake the pan gently to level.
  • 7) Set aside overnight to slowly set up.
  • 8) Run a knife around the edge of the pan and turn out onto a clean cutting surface.
  • 9) Slice into 1 ¼" cubes. Heat a knife in hot water and wipe dry before each cut, for smoothest cuts.
  • 10) Stick a wooden stick into the center of each block.
  • 11) Wrap in waxed paper, parchment, or plastic wrap to store.
  • 12) You can also add a few drops of flavoring oil (like hazelnut, coffee, or vanilla) to the mixture, or roll the blocks in cocoa or crushed candy canes, to kick it up a notch.

This hot chocolate is a great way to use up leftover chocolate. I always have a few blocks of chocolate in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them for.

I love that this hot chocolate can be made with different types of milk. I've tried it with almond milk and oat milk, and it's delicious both ways.

This hot chocolate is a game-changer. I used to buy expensive hot chocolate from the store, but now I can make it at home for a fraction of the cost. It's just as good, if not better.
