How to Make Red Hot Chocolate

Tips for Making Hot Chocolate from Scratch

• The milk should be extremely warm, but not boiling. Boiled milk will start to coagulate and become curdled milk.
• Stir constantly once chocolate is added so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Add whipped topping and extra chopped chocolate for toppings.
