This hot chocolate recipe is no, sugary Swiss-Miss like drink. No, this is the kind of rich, dark hot chocolate the texture of pure melted chocolate, so rich you could bathe in it. Behold: City Bakery’s (Very) Decadent Hot Chocolate
VERY DECADENT HOT CHOCOLATE
Serves 2
Ingredients:
4 oz. dark chocolate, chopped
2 cups whole milk
2 tsp corn starch
about 2 Tbsp sugar
generous pinch sea salt
splash vanilla extract
Directions:
In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the dark chocolate with a splash of milk over medium-low heat. Stir. Whisk corn starch with rest of milk (vigorously or else you’ll end up with clumps of corn starch in your drink) and slowly add it to the melted chocolate. Add sugar to taste. Keep stirring until it reaches a low simmer and becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in salt and vanilla.
Divide between two cups. Top with giant marshmallows.

Can’t believe you didn’t even give credit to your Mom who “discovered” Cioccolata Calda while studying in Siena during college and introduced you to it. Hot chocolate so thick it’s like pudding.
