This recipe is super easy and perfect for those chilly evenings when you need a warm hug in a mug. I came up with this one after a particularly stressful day, and I just wanted something comforting and delicious. Plus, who doesn't love a gorgeous cinnamon-sugar rim?
It's way better than those instant hot chocolate packets! And honestly, this is the perfect recipe to share with friends and family. One of my friends made it last week and said it tasted just like magic. She even managed to get her kids to help with the mug prep (which for her, I heard, is a major accomplishment!),

📖 Instructions
- First things first: Grab your mugs! Choose your favorite ones, the ones that make you feel cozy. Maybe it's that vintage mug your grandma gave you, or maybe that one with the funny cat on it. Whatever makes you happy!
- Next, let's prep the rims. Grab a small plate and generously sprinkle some sugar on one side. Then, sprinkle a good amount of ground cinnamon on top of the sugar. Mix them gently, so you have a lovely cinnamon-sugar mix.
- Now, the melting moment! Grab your saucepan and place the chocolate in it. Add a splash of milk or cream to help it melt. Heat it over low heat. Stir it gently, making sure the chocolate melts smoothly and doesn't scorch. Patience is key here!
- Once your chocolate is a smooth, luscious liquid, use a spoon or a pastry brush to coat the rims of your mugs with it. A thin, even coat is all you need. Immediately dip the rim into your cinnamon-sugar mix. Make sure to press it gently so the mix adheres well!
- Now that we have cinnamony, chocolatey mug rims, let's make the hot chocolate! Pour your favorite hot chocolate mix into a mug. Add your preferred amount of water or milk and whisk it well. It's all about personal preference here—we're aiming for a blissful hot chocolate experience.
- And finally, the grand finale: Gently pour the hot chocolate into your cinnamon-sugar-rimmed mugs. Add marshmallows or whipped cream if you like. If you're feeling extra fancy, maybe a sprinkle of extra cinnamon? Why not?
- Congratulations! You've created a super cozy, delicious hot chocolate with an amazing rim. Enjoy your warm mug of perfection! Let me know how it turns out, and I'm super excited to see your pictures!
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate. If using a chocolate bar, make sure it's semi-sweet or bittersweet. Milk chocolate works too!
