- 1 (10 ounce) bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Popsicle sticks
- Silicone ice cube tray (heart shaped)
- Optional Flavorings:
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- .5 tsp vanilla extract
- .25 tsp cayenne pepper
- edible sprinkles
Add chocolate chips to a double boiler and melt slowly, stirring often.
Add in any flavoring you might want, I love adding cinnamon.
When the chocolate is fully melted, pour into the ice cube tray, let cool on the counter for about 5 minutes, add any toppings like sprinkles at this point. Then insert the popsicle sticks.
Chill and store covered in the refrigerator.
When you are ready to enjoy, heat your preferred type of milk until it is simmering, be careful not to burn it.
Add 8 - 10 ounces of hot milk to a mug and drop in a chocolate stirrer, slowly stir for 3 - 5 minutes until the chocolate has fully melted off of the stick and enjoy a mug of Hot Cocoa!
