Watch as BHG shares with you the secret to making steamy, delicious homemade hot chocolate. The secret is bringing the milk to a boil so the chocolate melts completely, creating a smooth, creamy texture. First, in a saucepan bring the milk just to a boil before adding chocolate pieces. We like to use morsels because they melt evenly and quickly, but chopping a chocolate bar works as well. Keep whisking the milk and chocolate and bring it just back to a boil. This step is key to making smooth hot chocolate. Continuous whisking helps melt the chocolate and prevents it from scorching. All that's left to do is pour the hot chocolate into mugs and savor the sweetness.
