Notes
USE CHOCOLATE MILK
Make this extra chocolatey by substituting chocolate milk for the regular milk.
USE INSTANT HOT COCOA
In a rush? Omit the baker’s chocolate and combine warm milk and instant hot cocoa powder mix to create the hot chocolate. Stir in your Baileys Irish Cream and add your toppings.
MAKE A DAIRY-FREE VERSION
You can make a dairy-free or vegan version of this hot chocolate by using non-dairy baking chocolate, a plant-based milk (like almond milk or oat milk), and a dairy-free whipped cream alternative. You will also need to omit the Baileys, as it has dairy in it. You could try an alternative like Peppermint Schnapps.
