Thick, silky, and deeply chocolatey, this Italian Style Hot Chocolate is the cup I reach for on a chilly day. Real dark chocolate melts into whole milk, and a spoonful of Brownie Batter Sugar Shaker adds even more chocolate flavor. Whipped cream whisked with Chocolate Espresso Barrel Aged Balsamic gives each mug a deep mocha note, and one more sprinkle of Brownie Batter Sugar Shaker finishes it off.
