Equipment

  • small sauce pot
  • Whisk
  • coffee mug

Ingredients

  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 4 ounces milk
  • 4 ounces half and half
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ tablespoon honey
  • 1 graham cracker square crushed
  • Marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs for garnish

Instructions

  • In a small sauce pot, whisk together the cinnamon, sugar, salt, and cocoa powder.
  • Slowly pour the milk into the pot while whisking to dissolve the dry ingredients. Pour in the half and half and vanilla extract, and whisk to thoroughly combine.
  • Add the chocolate chips, honey, and the crushed graham cracker.
  • Warm the ingredients on medium heat, stirring occasionally with a whisk to melt the chocolate chips. After about 5 minutes, the liquid will begin to steam.
  • Once the mixture starts to bubble along the sides of the pot, immediately remove from the heat.
  • Pour the hot chocolate into your favorite mug.
  • Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs for garnish. Top with marshmallows and toast with a handheld torch.
