Even though this hot chocolate coffee is super easy to make, I've jotted down a few tips to ensure that you have the perfect hot chocolate coffee experience.
How to Make the Perfect Hot Chocolate Coffee
1.) To get this hot chocolate coffee lusciously thick and chocolatey, I use two kinds of chocolates: unsweetened cocoa powder and semi sweet chocolate. You can use any kind of chocolate you want: milk, semi sweet or dark. It just depends on your personal preference. Just make sure it's a good quality chocolate.
2.) Make the hot chocolate on medium low heat, since we just want to gently melt the chocolate. So simmering the liquid is good, but do not let it come to a boil.
3.) You can use any good quality coffee.
4.) Don't forget to top with marshmallows, because let's face it, marshmallows make everything better! 😉
