As I was waiting for my impromptu hot chocolate to heat up in the microwave, I couldn't help but think about all the times I'd struggled to make the perfect cup of hot chocolate from scratch.

As I took my first sip, I was pleasantly surprised by the rich, chocolatey flavor that filled my cup. It was creamy, it was dreamy, and it was ridiculously easy to make - I mean, who needs a hot chocolate mix when you have chocolate milk on hand?
