WHAT IS THE I KNEAD TO EAT’S HOT CHOCOLATE EXTRAVAGANZA?
This year, I decided to finally give in to my chocolate obsession, and not make one, not two but TEN HOT CHOCOLATE RECIPES for you guys. Winter is my favorite time of the year, and that’s mainly because of hot chocolate. So take out your cocoa powder and heavy cream, because for the next 10 days I’m going to be posting hot chocolate recipes everyday! And it’s going to be lots of fun. 🙂
My hot chocolate recipe collection is growing fast and furiously thanks to the awesome Hot Chocolate Extravaganza that I’m running on my blog these days. Whether it’s this Three-Ingredient Creamy Homemade White Hot Chocolate, or this citrusy Orange Hot Chocolate that you first choose to make, I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
So even though this Brownie Mix Hot Chocolate is a very simple recipe to make, I thought I’d outline the simple steps that you’d have to take to make this hot chocolate and then move to chocolate brownie heaven forever:
1.) So take a saucepan, add your milk, chocolate (yes, real chocolate goes into this hot chocolate), and brownie mix (I used Betty Crocker, but you can use your favorite brownie mix). Stir everything together on medium low heat until the chocolate melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Do not let come to a boil…we just want to warm the milk and melt the chocolate gently…so a gentle simmer is what we are looking for.
2.) Make a cornstarch and milk slurry, pour that slowly into the saucepan and continuously stir until the hot chocolate has thickened up to your liking.
Don’t worry if you accidentally thicken it up too much, just add 1-2 tablespoons milk to thin out the consistency.
3.) This step is optional but not really optional because who can skip mini marshmallows and bits of crumbled up brownie pieces? Not me for sure!
So pour the hot chocolate into your favorite mug, and add some mini marshmallows, brownie pieces and even chocolate chips if you want…!
4.) Okay, now’s the best part: drink up! 🙂
Here’s to cozy winter evenings, wearing your favorite fuzzy socks and ugly sweaters and drinking up this divine hot chocolate!
