Have you ever heard of candy bar hot chocolate? Well I’d almost forgotten about this nostalgic hot chocolate recipe. We’d make this all the time in HeadStart (yes, even though I’m 30 I can still remember being in HeadStart).

This has got to be one of the easiest, smoothest hot chocolate recipe I’ve ever had. Ok I know I’ve said that about this recipe and this one as well, but it’s the huge flavor payoff that you get from such a simple recipe that has me loving this particular hot chocolate recipe.

With only 4 ingredients and one being your favorite chocolate candy bar, seriously, how can you go wrong!?! Just be sure to use a candy bar that boasts of being “silky”. This will ensure a creamy, silky smooth, and comforting cup of hot chocolate.

No sugar is needed in this recipe when using milk chocolate. If you are using dark chocolate, you may want to sweeten it up a bit.

I LOVE DOVE!
I’m a DOVE girl myself! (No I didn’t get paid to say that, matter of fact, Dove doesn’t even know I exist) but to be such an inexpensive chocolate it is phenomenal! Silky, balanced sweetness, and so creamy! It rivals some of the imported chocolates I’ve tasted. So if you don’t have a favorite chocolate, use Dove!

If you have little ones in your life, they’ll enjoy being able to create their own custom hot chocolate. When I was little I liked using 3 musketeers. Yeah it was ridiculously sweet but there is no such thing when your little right?

CUSTOMIZE IT!
Don’t feel limited to plain chocolate! There are tons of chocolate duos out there this time of year. My hubby loves to combines mint chocolate and dark chocolate. If you have little ones in your life, they’ll enjoy being able to create their own custom hot chocolate. 3 musketeers anyone?
