In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the milk, cocoa, and sugar.
Whisk constantly until the cocoa and sugar have completely dissolved and the mixture is hot. If using chocolate, add the chopped chocolate and whisk until it is completely melted.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt. Pour into a mug* and top with marshmallows or whipped cream! Enjoy hot!

* For a richer hot chocolate, you can add some straight chocolate! This will create a thicker, creamier hot chocolate and is totally optional!

*Feel free to use whatever kind of milk you want and fits into your diet!

*Make sure you use high quality cocoa! We recommend Rodelle!

*Feel free to adjust the sugar quantities to your taste! Like it sweeter? Add more. Want a darker chocolate taste? Add less.

*If you want to really treat yourself, warm your mug up in the microwave for a a minute to keep the hot chocolate hot longer!
