  • 3 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • splash of vanilla extract

Toppings:

  • mini marshmallows
  • whipped topping

Instructions

  • Add milk, cocoa powder and maple syrup in a small saucepan on medium heat until warm, don’t boil! 
  • Turn to low heat when warmed and add in chocolate chips and vanilla extract to whisk until melted, about 10-15 seconds. Make sure you gently whisk or else the chocolate will stick to the bottom! Turn off heat and transfer to a mug. Top with mini marshmallows/whipped topping!
