How to Make Haunting Hot Chocolate

  1. Zest the orange using a vegetable peeler and set aside the zest.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the milk, chocolate baking squares, orange zest, and nutmeg.
  3. Whisk over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Remove the orange zest from the saucepan.
  5. Whisk in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of milk and heat through, stirring occasionally, until warmed through (do not boil).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Serve warm in mugs.
  8. To make a marshmallow ghost: Arrange mini marshmallows to create a ghost shape on top of your hot chocolate. Use an edible marker to draw on facial features (optional).
  9. Add a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired.
