Homemade Hot Chocolate Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 5 cups milk
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Directions
Stir together all the ingredients (except for extra toppings) in a pot over the stovetop on low-med heat. Keep stirring so that all the chocolate melts for about 15-20 minutes.
As all the chocolate melts, the liquid will become darker.
If you like a little bit of a darker hot chocolate, you can leave out the semi-sweet chocolate.
When all the chocolate is melted, pour it in your favorite mug and add whipped cream, sprinkles, a candy cane, or crushed candy canes to your liking. Or you can just leave it plain, because it’s that yummy!
This Polar Express hot chocolate is chocolatey goodness in a cup and is thicker than a just add water mix.
