Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk preferably whole milk or 2%
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
  • ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ to ½ cup Baileys Irish cream* more or less to taste

Instructions

  • Place milk, cocoa powder, and sugar in a saucepan set over medium heat. Whisk frequently until the cocoa powder and sugar have dissolved, and the mixture is hot (but not boiling).
  • Add the chocolate chips and stir frequently until melted. Add vanilla and Baileys. Stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes

*You can use any of the following in place of Baileys Irish Cream:
  • Kahlua
  • Vanilla vodka
  • Chocolate liqueur
  • White chocolate liqueur
  • Coffee liqueur
Depending on how strong you like your drinks (or which alcohol you choose) I would recommend starting with a smaller amount, tasting it, and increasing the alcohol as desired.
