When I was a kid 65 years ago, my little bro and I had a paper route. We served about a quarter of our smallish town, so it was a big route everyday, and we often worked into the night during the winter. As part of the job, we had to get up about 4 a.m. every Sunday and deliver the gargantuan version of the Sunday Register and Tribune. Each copy ran over a pound typically, so we were lugging around a lot of weight. Sometimes in winter, if it was particularly cold, my dad would get up early and help us. By cold, I mean -50 to -75 degrees below zero F with windchill on top of that. It took several hours to complete the route, and as a treat after we got home, my mom would often make us fresh hot chocolate and toast and butter with apple jelly. For some reason, that is one of those Heavenly combos. Believe me, you've not tasted delicious hot chocolate until after delivering hundreds of copies of the Sunday Register and Tribune for several hours in early morning darkness in -75 degree below zero weather. I don't think she ever had those cute holiday decorations sitting next to the cocoa cups on the table though.
It’s a snow day today, we got 10” last night, and I’m making a hot cup of cocoa for my 9 year old who just came in from playing. Great recipe. She loved it. Thank you!
When I got home from work my mama was getting ready to make this very recipe. I told her to keep the half & half in the recipe, and instead of whole milk she used unsweetened almond milk. She didn’t put all the sugar as we tend to use a tad less of any sweetener. We also used the cocoa powder we had on hand which was a delicious black cocoa powder I got from Amazon. It was the *BEST* fresh hot cocoa I ever had!!!!! Thanks for the great idea and for sharing. 😄
I am a hot chocolate snob, I don't drink coffee and am very picky about places that don't make as good hot chocolate as they do there coffee. Where I live we have a company that makes one of the best hot chocolates I have had. My 7 year old son and I made this today and it tasted just like that hot chocolate. This was absolutely fantastic. Thank you!!! Now even during quarantine we can have our favorite hot chocolate at home.
When you're mixing in your powdered ingredients "really well" you might want to pay attention to the big blob stuck in your mug opposite the handle. That being said... A thermos of hot cocoa always accompanied us onto the mountain when my parents used to take us up to find the perfect Christmas tree (I truly pity people who have only had "farmed" trees from those depressing lots in their lives - such a delightful adventure was the perfect way to begin the Christmas festivities!) and hot cocoa always brings a smile to my face.
This is how my mother used to make it when we were kids. Before you could just open a pouch and add water. Delicious! Merry Christmas! We love your channel.
I stumbles across your videos the other day while looking for a soft pretzel recipe. Since then, not only did I make the pretzels but I'm hooked on your videos! Keep 'em coming! They are enjoyable to watch and I think you explain your ingredients and directions very well. I can't wait to see more. :)
Thank you for the recipe! I used unsweetened almond milk and it turned out great! A bit too sweet for my taste, but that can easily be adjusted. And I spilled some milk too hahaha
Quick tip : put some ice cream in the microwave for 10 seconds until it's melted, just don't burn it, and add it on the top, no mixing though, it just adds a nice smell and gives a better tase, even if you mix it.
Tip: don’t use sugar as a substitute for granulated sugar(also known as icing sugar). They have two different tastes. All you need to do to make granulated sugar is to take some sugar,get a blender and blend. If you don’t have a blender you can always try crush the sugar by yourself,but it will take some time.
I added just a couple of peppermint oil to it instead of vanilla and it tasted like a peppermint patty. Very addictive. Tomorrow night I am going to try this cherry flavoring that you use for candy making because I love chocolate covered cherries 🍒.. wish me luck 🤞.
I used 2 teaspoons of cocoa and added a peppermint disk candy to disguise the fact that I used cocoa powder in stead of chocolate and it came out divine! You could easily substitute the peppermint flavor with peppermint extract.
So, I decided to switch out the whole milk for coconut milt and added some cinnamon. It really tastes amazing! Wouldn't advise doing this if you like more rich or less sweet hot cocoa. Its really good!
When you said that there might be a foot of snow outside or it might be icy I was like I WISH cause I live in Dubai where it's in the dessert and i have never actually felt or seen snow in real life
I’ve heard that hot cocoa is based on water, and hot chocolate is based on milk. Is that true? I was convinced it was but then I saw your caption and asked myself if it’s really true or not haha. Anyway, you’re a really good chef! Your explanations are simple and good and I always learn something from your videos. Thankyou! (btw I’m from Holland, maybe I made some grammer mistakes haha)
Same that’s what I used to do with store bought hot chocolate powder. Simmering the milk takes more effort but I personally think it gives a better taste
I sub out complex sugar syrup and hazelnut for the sugar and it makes mixing a bit easier. I put wverythimg in a pot and mix with a milk frother. Pour into my cup and away I go.

It is the middle of a hot summer, and I'm craving hot cocoa.
Does anyone else have this dilemma?
I do
Omg same
Meee

Same
Can I use milk instead of melk?
MegaJared2 It is an unusual accent he has. I like it though. Where in America is he from?
aerialkate Probably not even America, the uk perhaps
Brits pronounce milk as "melk".

No whipped cream is NOT optional! It is mandatory! Have a rocking Christmas Jason!
I wholeheartedly agree. :-)
The Root Boy Cooks ! But im Lactose Intolorant

Marshmallows are better
MegaJared2 I thought it was about milk
I made this tonight and it was so good! Way better than a pre-made packet.
Its so simple and easy with average home ingredients thank you
His appliances are beautiful!
It’s the middle of October and there’s nothing else that hits the spot like a good hot cocoa. Thank you so much for this recipe!!

I literally did this in less than 10 minutes and it turned out FANTASTIC!
This cocoa looks yummy! I loved your set decoration.

I was skeptical to try a new hot cocoa recipe because everyone already likes the way I make it but I tried this and oh my gosh it tastes so good
This is how my mother used to make it when we were kids. Before you could just open a pouch and add water. Delicious!
Merry Christmas! We love your channel.
Gotta love the convenience of a packet but I'm not a fan of the ingredients in them. Have a Merry Christmas as well!

Thanks! I'm going to try and be better about uploading in the new year. Life has been crazy lately. Sorry.

Glad to hear!
I like to add sweet cream coffee creamer, it’s so good. Also you can add a shot of unsweetened coffee
Needed an extra large mug for this but it's really good. I used about 2 tsp Dutch processed cocoa and stirred with a cinnamon stick!
I tried the recipe you told and it turned out pretty good I enjoyed it setting in my balcony while it was snowing
I needed this recipe. Thanks for posting.
It tasted exactly like store bought hot chocolate!! And its amazing
Quick tip : put some ice cream in the microwave for 10 seconds until it's melted, just don't burn it, and add it on the top, no mixing though, it just adds a nice smell and gives a better tase, even if you mix it.
Yes I agree, It really 'tase' nice...

This is the best hot cocoa ever

I used oat milk it was delicious

Dear Jack, I watch your video every time I make hot cocoa. This hot cocoa recipe really is something special. Thx
Love it that you slopped a little over the side and didn't reshoot the video. I always make a mess. Thanks for this recipe.

All you need to do to make granulated sugar is to take some sugar,get a blender and blend. If you don’t have a blender you can always try crush the sugar by yourself,but it will take some time.
A rainy evening and a hot cup of cocoa💗💗😋

Tomorrow night I am going to try this cherry flavoring that you use for candy making because I love chocolate covered cherries 🍒.. wish me luck 🤞.

Omg I tried this it’s sooooo good! I also added chocolate chips and did it in the microwave
NICE PAN!
Best hot cocoa thanks

Would this be good with water Instead of milk?
Even though it isn’t Christmas, this recipe was delicious! I made it and it was still delicious even if I didn’t have whipped cream! thanks!
This was posted 4 years ago...ive just tried it and ooh my word😩😩That kick of the vanilla essence😍😍😍😍I cannot imagine my hot chocolate any different!
I used the heavy cream and it came out perfect this was so good!!
My sister really liked the recipe. Thank you so much
Good recipe. Instead of sugar, I use stevia. Tastes great!
This is the best hot chocolate recipe on RUclips 🙌
I rally wanted to do this even tho I had a protein coco powder it still worked out well and tasted good thank you for this legendary recipe
When you said that there might be a foot of snow outside or it might be icy I was like I WISH cause I live in Dubai where it's in the dessert and i have never actually felt or seen snow in real life
Lol ya even I live in Dubai
Perfect. Thank you for your recipe. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I loved watching your videos when i was 17 in 2017 when i got into baking 😢 currently making this cocoa recipe again since then. Hope you're okay 🫂
Absolutely delicious!! Perfect amount of sweetness! Thanks for making this video !
Thank you so much i had some cocoa left and i didnt want to waste it and your video was the best thing to with it :D
I heated my milk in the microwave but it tasted delicious thank you

Yumm....! I gonna try this recipe..definitely..😍❤

Him: adds a tiny dollop of whipped cream
Me: adds an entire bottle of whipped cream
Same😂
Next week on My 600 pounds life episode ^^
Thank you very much for adding the metric measurements as well :)
I loooved it:)
Replaced sugar with three packets of Splenda . Worked out fine.
Did it and it was the best
So good
I made this and it turned out AMAZINGGGG
Absolutely delicious. Thank you. You made me a hero tonight.
Instead of simmering the milk, I like to put it in the microwave
Same that’s what I used to do with store bought hot chocolate powder. Simmering the milk takes more effort but I personally think it gives a better taste
@@CakeSSO Yes, me too
nice to know that others use forks to mix too
tasted amazing i also used brown sugar instead
If you add some cinnamon on top of the whipped cream it’s just 😌👌🏼
Sadie Onelum on top? Why not when you turn the pan off?
Can you use water instead of milk??
THIS. TASTES. AMAZING. 100% RECCOMEND 9/10
Works perfectly! I always add a good pinch of cinnamon, too. :)
Yoooo that's so good that's definitely going in my recipe book
This hot coca is autullay really good
Just made it and shared with my family..they are ecstatic.thanks a lot
Superb, u made it super easy
I sub out complex sugar syrup and hazelnut for the sugar and it makes mixing a bit easier. I put wverythimg in a pot and mix with a milk frother. Pour into my cup and away I go.
Well, Mr Crouton you know how to pamper yourself! A very Merry Christmas, Love the recipes! Thank you!
