Homemade Hot Chocolate
When I was growing up, it was pretty special when my mom made us homemade hot chocolate. I have never forgotten those moments, sipping the hot chocolate with my family. These days, I do the same thing for my kids. We even have ‘Family Cocoa Nights’!
There are actually quite a few different ways to make old fashioned homemade hot chocolate so I thought I would bring those recipes together right here for you guys so that you can try them out and decide which one you would like the best. In fact, I would love to hear which one is your favorite – or if you have a different recipe altogether!
The Recipe of my Childhood
The recipe that I grew up with wasn’t even so much a recipe, I don’t think, as much as it was just a few ingredients that we put together and tasted until it was right. It is what I have used a lot because it is what I knew.
- It was simply milk, cocoa powder, sugar, a touch of vanilla and a dash of salt. But there really are so many more out there with really rich and creamy ingredients. I can’t wait to try them all!
Healthy Hot Chocolate with Cacao Powder
From Scratch Fast has a great recipe for hot chocolate that is made from raw cacao powder, the less processed version of cocoa powder. They also list a vegan twist.

This recipe from Old Salt Farm is making my mouth water! I cannot wait to pull out the crockpot and get this going! And what a terrific way to do it. With a crockpot, you can just get it going and leave a ladle in it for everyone to serve themselves.

This option is for people who are looking for a more healthy, vegan option. When you look through the ingredients list, it definitely seems like a healthy option and still a decadent treat.
