How to Make Butterscotch Hot Chocolate

  1. Heat 2 cups of milk in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until it's just about to boil. Don't let it boil over!
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  3. In each of two tall, heatproof glasses, place 1.5 ounces of good quality chocolate (chopped or in chocolate chips).
  4. Carefully pour the hot milk over the chocolate in each glass. Let it sit for a minute to allow the chocolate to melt completely. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Add 1 ounce of butterscotch schnapps to each glass. Stir to combine.
  6. Top each glass with a generous serving of marshmallows. Enjoy immediately!
