How to Make Hot Chocolate New England Style

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of boiling water and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk the milk mixture into the cocoa mixture. Stir continuously to prevent scorching.
  5. Gently stir in 8 large marshmallows. Continue to heat until the marshmallows are completely melted and the hot chocolate is smooth and creamy, stirring occasionally.
  6. Pour into four mugs. Top each mug with an additional marshmallow for an extra touch of sweetness.
