Step
2 mins

In a medium saucepan, combine water and finely chopped unsweetened baking chocolate. (Prep time: ~2 minutes)

Step
5 mins

Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)

Remove from heat and beat with a whisk until foamy, or simply stir until smooth. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

Serve immediately, garnished with jumbo marshmallows and a generous drizzle of chocolate and caramel sauce. Enjoy!

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the hot chocolate while it simmers.
Experiment with different types of chocolate, such as semi-sweet or dark chocolate, to customize the richness of the drink.
To create a vegan version, substitute the whole milk with your favorite plant-based milk alternative, such as almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
