Instructions
  1. To make Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate, pour milk into the saucepan. Place it on a medium heat and cook it for 2-3 minutes till it's warm..
  2. Add your salted caramel sauce and mix it properly with a wooden spoon.
  3. Add in the cocoa powder. Make sure it is sieved to prevent lumps.
  4. Add the milk chocolate into the pan, mix it properly till the chocolate melts.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and you can now put vanilla essence if you want.
  6. Pour the hot chocolate into a mug and top it up with a mountain of mini marshmallows and a drizzle of salted caramel.
  7. To make Spiced White Hot Chocolate, pour milk into the saucepan and place it over medium heat.
  8. Add sugar, cinnamon and salt in it and mix it well.
  9. Add vanilla essence and white chocolate in the saucepan and remove it from the heat. Stir it properly till the chocolate melts.
  10. Pour in a cup and enjoy. You can sprinkle some spices on top and mix it away with a cinnamon stick too. At this point, the hot chocolate might seem less thick than the rest but it is because of the nature of white chocolate and lesser cocoa butter content present in it. When it will rest for sometime, it will automatically thicken.
  11. To make Mocha Hot Chocolate, pour the milk into the saucepan on a medium heat till it warms up nicely.
  12. Add the coffee powder and sugar, mix it properly so that they dissolve.
  13. Add the cocoa powder. Make sure it is sieved. Mix it all properly with the help of your whisk.
  14. Add in the final ingredient, chocolate and mix it all. Remove it from the heat.
  15. Pour it in a nice cup, pipe some whipped cream on it and dust some cocoa powder or chocolate shavings. Enjoy!
