Cinnamon Hot Chocolate
Stay warm this winter with homemade cinnamon hot chocolate! With vanilla, semisweet chocolate, and toasty cinnamon, this cocoa is rich, creamy, chocolatey, and beyond delicious. This is one of my favorite recipes for holiday parties, winter brunches, and snowy adventures!

Instructions
- Step 1
Combine the milk, cocoa powder, and sugar in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking until the sugar is dissolved and the cocoa powder is thoroughly combined.
- Step 2
Heat the milk mixture until it's hot and there are just a couple of small bubbles on the surface (don't let it come to a simmer). Remove the pan from the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for about 2 minutes.
- Step 3
Whisk the chocolate into the milk until it's smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the hot chocolate is thoroughly combined.
- Step 4
Ladle the hot chocolate into 4 mugs. Top with marshmallows or whipped cream and enjoy!
