BEST EVER COCONUT HOT CHOCOLATE

This is the best hot chocolate I've ever consumed in my life. This recipe serves two.

2 cups milk

1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk

2.5 tbsp sweetened condensed milk

2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp vanilla

I add all ingredients in my cocoa latte machine (definitely worth the $20 at walmart) and let it mix and heat up, then serve with mini mallows. If you are unfortunate enough not to have this clever contraption I am certain this could be made on the stove.

Also, if you like your hot chocolate sweeter I suggest adding more sweetened condensed milk, but you can always test taste and adjust as needed.
