Active: 20 min
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 3 cups milk, plus more if needed
  2. 1 cup half-and-half
  3. 8 cinnamon sticks
  4. 2 discs Mexican chocolate, such as Abuelita
  5. 1 teaspoon sugar, optional
  6. Toasted marshmallows, for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine the milk, half-and-half and 2 of the cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat, then stir in the chocolate discs. Stir until melted (though there will still be lovely particles of chocolate throughout). If it’s too chocolaty for you, splash in a little more milk. If it’s not quite sweet enough for you, add 1 teaspoon sugar.
  2. Serve in mugs topped with toasted marshmallows, and place a cinnamon stick in each mug.

This is a so good. I love the warm cinnamon taste. This is my new favorite hot chocolate.

I’m a little confused as to why it looks like cookies and cream than a uniformed chocolate milk? The milk has barely changed color but just with a bunch of chocolate specks. Using Abuelita. Anyone else with this issue?
