  • 1/4 c.

    sugar

  • 4 c.

    whole milk

    semisweet chocolate chips

  • Pinch kosher salt

  • Whipped cream and candy canes, for serving

Directions

  1. Whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, and 1/2 cup milk in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, whisking, until cocoa powder is dissolved.
