- Feel free to swap out the vanilla extract for mint or another holiday extract that you prefer.

Storage
You can store your hot chocolate in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can make this ahead of time. If you are not going to serve this right away, you will want to pour your hot chocolate into a pitcher and let it completely cool before placing it in the fridge.
When you are ready to enjoy, remove it from the fridge and warm it to your desired temperature on the stove or in a crockpot.
What can I serve with my hot chocolate?
You can serve anything with hot chocolate. We love to eat with popcorn, enjoy with cookies, cake, and even cupcakes.
Can I make this on the stove?
Yes, you can make this on the stove. Combine all the ingredients in a pot and cook over medium-low heat. Be sure to stir often so nothing begins to burn on the bottom or the sides. You will want to cook until the chocolate chips have completely melted and your hot chocolate is nice and smooth. Turn down to low once cooked to keep warm.
