The perfect Nutella Hot Chocolate recipe!
As the days get shorter, and the weather gets colder, the need for a delicious cup of hot chocolate becomes more and more necessary.
This Nutella Hot Chocolate recipe is perfect for watching your favorite Christmas movies, and enjoying with your favorite cookies. It’s also a great drink for when the snow is falling and you need to warm your body and soul!
How to make this simple Nutella Hot Chocolate recipe:
I personally LOVE to enjoy homemade hot chocolate. Homemade is WAY better than the powdered stuff you buy at the grocery store, and is pretty simple to make.
All you need is a saucepan, and a few ingredients, and you’ll discover that homemade is the only way to go!
If you love Nutella, be sure to check out my Nutella Coffee recipe, which can be made hot or iced.
Step 1: Heat the ingredients over medium-low heat
Start by adding your chocolate chips, sugar, Nutella and salt into a medium sauce pan. Pour in your milk. I recommend making hot chocolate with whole milk, as it will result in the most amazing, creamy consistency.
Heat the mixture on medium-low heat and everything will begin to melt together, resulting in the most decadent, delicious hot chocolate. Stir in your vanilla for an amazing flavor that you’ll be sure to love!
Toppings: marshmallows or whipped cream?
Ladle the hot chocolate into the mugs right away, and top with lots of marshmallows or whipped cream. This hot chocolate is the perfect treat to enjoy with Christmas cookies, and fantastic to help warm up after playing in the snow!
