There are certain recipes that just seem to be timeless and try as we might, we are unable to improve on them. One of those recipes is a simple cup of hot chocolate. It seems as if it is the perfect treat on a cold winter day or to enjoy in front of a fire. Improving on a cup of hot chocolate may be possible with marshmallows, but once you see the recipe in this video, you will know that hot chocolate has been taken to the next level.
