Melted vs. Powdered. You can make hot chocolate two ways: with melted chocolate (which is thicker and less sweet, sometimes called drinking chocolate) or with cocoa powder mixed into hot milk or water.

The Perfect Topping. Hot chocolate tastes even better when you add fluffy marshmallows or a swirl of whipped cream on top to make it extra special and delicious.

Milk or Water Base. Some people heat milk to make their hot chocolate creamier and richer, while others use water for a lighter version, both work great!

Sweet Treat Drink. Most hot chocolate recipes include a sweetener like sugar to make it taste yummy, though drinking chocolate made with real melted chocolate might already be sweet enough.
