This rich, indulgent hot chocolate is everything you want on a chilly day. Made from a blend of dark chocolate, cocoa powder, milk powder, and a touch of light brown sugar, it’s deeply chocolatey with a hint of warmth from a pinch of flaky salt. Simply whisk a few spoonfuls into warm milk for a perfectly smooth, creamy cup — top with cream or marshmallows for an extra-special treat.
