1
Heat the Milk
In a medium-sized saucepan, pour in the whole milk. Heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning, until it is steaming but not boiling.
2
Melt the Chocolate
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chunks to the warm milk. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
3
Add Sweetness and Flavor
Stir in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue to stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the hot chocolate is well combined.
4
Serve
Remove the saucepan from heat. Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top each serving with a generous handful of marshmallows.
5
Garnish and Enjoy
If desired, you can use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallows or serve them as they are. Enjoy your delicious homemade hot chocolate!
