Key Equipment

Before You Begin

We like bourbon in this drink, but golden or dark rum, amaretto, coffee liqueur, brandy, or cognac can be substituted, if desired.

Instructions

Whisk milk powder, cocoa, and sugar together in medium saucepan. Slowly whisk in milk until incorporated and no lumps remain. Bring to simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Off heat, immediately whisk in chocolate chips until melted and smooth.

Stir in bourbon and vanilla. Divide among 4 mugs. Top with marshmallows, if using. Serve.
