Gather Your Ingredients
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s make sure we have all the necessary ingredients handy. Here’s what you’ll need:
– Swiss Miss hot chocolate mix
– Milk (2 cups)
– Microwave-safe mug
– Microwave
– Whisk or spoon for stirring
– Optional toppings (whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate syrup)
Preparation
Step 1: Measure and Pour
Start by measuring out 2 cups of milk. You can use any type of milk you prefer – whole milk for a richer taste or skim milk for a lighter version. Pour the milk into your microwave-safe mug.
Step 2: Add the Hot Chocolate Mix
Now, it’s time to add the star of the show – the Swiss Miss hot chocolate mix. Open the packet and pour the contents into the mug with the milk. Use a spoon or whisk to combine the ingredients until the hot chocolate mix is fully dissolved in the milk.
Microwave Time!
Step 3: Microwave on High
Place your mug with the milk and hot chocolate mix in the microwave. Set the microwave to high power and set the timer for 1 minute and 30 seconds. If your microwave has a different wattage, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
Step 4: Stir and Microwave Again
After the 1 minute and 30 seconds have passed, carefully remove the mug from the microwave. Give the hot chocolate a good stir to ensure that it’s heated evenly. If you prefer a frothier texture, you can use a whisk to vigorously stir the hot chocolate until it becomes frothy.
Place the mug back in the microwave and cook on high for an additional 30 to 45 seconds. This additional time will ensure that the hot chocolate is piping hot and ready to be consumed.
Serve and Enjoy!
Step 5: Add Toppings
Once the hot chocolate is done in the microwave, it’s time to give it some personality with optional toppings. You can go simple and top it off with a dollop of whipped cream or a handful of mini marshmallows. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, drizzle some chocolate syrup on top for an extra touch of indulgence.
Step 6: Sip and Savor
