  • sugar

  • extra goodies (mini marshmallows, chocolate chips/buttons, golden syrup, demerara sugar, chopped nuts, chocolate flakes)

Steps

  1. Pour the milk into a microwave-safe beaker or cup.
  2. Cook on the highest temperature for about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chopped chocolate pieces and add about half a teaspoon of cinnamon.
  4. Cook again until the chocolate has completely melted.
  5. Whisk it until it is all smooth and frothy.
  6. Pour into three cups and add about a half of teaspoon of sugar into each of the mugs. Decorate with whipped cream.
  7. Add any extra goodies to each cup.

Tips
