Why I Love This Recipe:

1. Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Hot Cocoa is simple to make with just milk and truffles I always have in the house.
2. I love using actual chocolate instead of a hot cocoa mix-some hot cocoa mixes have to many ingredients that I can’t read, which means I do not know what chemicals they are putting in my food.
3. Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt are so delicious! I love drinking this hot cocoa under a cozy blanket with a good book or funny movie.
4. This recipe is easy to multiply when my kids are home and they want some, too.

FAQ’s:

1. Can I use other truffles? Of course! Try our Peppermint Truffle Hot Cocoa recipe. That recipe uses Dilettante Chocolates that we get online or at Costco during the holiday season. Try your favorite truffle. Let us know how what you used and how it turned out.
2. Do I need to stir every 30 seconds? I recommend stirring between intervals and stirring quite a bit so the chocolate with melt in the least amount of heating time.
3. Do I have to chop up the chocolate? Yes, this will help the chocolate melt and incorporate better.
4. Can I add extra sea salt? Of course, Have you watched the episode of Modern Family, where Manny’s girlfriend has him try salt in his chocolate milk? Salt brings out the flavor in this too.
5. Can I use mini marshmallows instead of whipping cream? Yes, I love how marshmallows taste and feel when they are all melty in hot cocoa!
6. Can I make this on the stove? I am also trying to get away from using the microwave-heat the milk slowly, in a small sauce pan with the chopped chocolate. Stir continually.
7. Can I use non-fat milk? You sure can. You can use 2% or whole milk. Using a low-fat milk will however, make this hot cocoa recipe less decedent and rich. Definitely your choice, though.
