Homemade Stovetop Hot Cocoa

Every year on Christmas morning, I make this hot cocoa. It is SO rich and yummy, it tastes NOTHING like a powdered mix. Honestly, I can only drink a bit at a time because it is just so, so rich. It is the best hot chocolate I've ever tried, truly. We make up this batch, and then sip on it throughout the day on Christmas. This is the one time a year I make it, because it is such a special treat.

In a large pot, mix up:

6 cups of milk (you can use whatever % you like best. 2% or whole are going to make it a lot creamier than 1% or skim)

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1-1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups of milk chocolate chips

Stir almost constantly until the chocolate melts and the ingredients start to come together. Then, let it simmer, stirring occasionally until you are ready to serve! Enjoy!

Tomorrow, for day 5 of Blogtober, I am going to be talking about our 2018 travel plans!
