  • 2 ounces 70% cocoa dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
  • 4 teaspoons brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • ¼ cup whipping cream

  2. Add in the cocoa powder, brown sugar, and salt.

  8. If desired, sprinkle ¼ teaspoon cinnamon onto each cup.
  9. Top each cup with a small handful of mini marshmallows and flaky salt if desired, then serve.
