Nutella Hot Chocolate
Who else here is a nutella fan?! Since nutella showed up in stores across America the past few years, I have tried putting in on everything from english muffins to banana bread to baking with it in brownies and cookies. One of the best uses for it is to make hot chocolate! Now you could use just nutella and milk to make nutella hot chocolate but I like doing about half chocolate chips, half nutella. If you want to use all nutella, use 1/4 cup of it in the recipe with 2 cups milk. I think the chocolate chips help thicken it up and make it perfect! If you want even more nutella flavor, warm up a little in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds and then drizzle a bit on top before serving.
