DOUBLE CHOCOLATE Sea Salt Hot Cocoa! This is our favorite homemade hot chocolate recipe, it’s so rich and creamy! It’s easy and quick to make! I love adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top to help balance out the double chocolate! This drink is for chocolate lovers!
“Woah”.
“Woah”.
That’s probably going to be your reaction when you take a sip of this Double Chocolate Sea Salt Hot Cocoa.
With the holidays right around the corner (exciting!) the weather is changing here. I grew up in Pennsylvania where Christmas was usually blistery and covered in snow. In NYC, I can’t recall many white Christmas days in the last 10 years, but I can feel the weather changing. This week I’m already whipping my gloves out of my bag 2 minutes into my walk to work. By the time I make my way home later in the day there’s one thing I want when I walk in the door. Ok, 2 things, because first I want cat hugs. That’s hot chocolate. I want one nice mug of hot chocolate that will warm my hands and belly up.
I love the combo of chocolate + sea salt, so this recipe is giving you that sweet and salty taste. Just a sprinkle of sea salt on top helps balance out the double chocolate. Throw some marshmallows and holiday sprinkles on top and you’ll have your new favorite Winter drink.
Enjoy!
Add your milk, cocoa powder and sugars into a saucepan.
Whisk it over medium high heat until the sugars are dissolved. Add your milk and yummy chocolate chips.
Once the chocolate is completely melted then pour into 2 mugs. Sprinkle a little pinch of sea salt on top of each.
Enjoy this Double Chocolate Sea Salt Hot Cocoa and stay warm!

If I have this, the first thing I would do. I would pour the marshmallow with a spoon to wish mix with the chocolate and pick it to eat first like chocolate fondue. Who doesn’t wish to do it?
Suzanne says
