Many people often use hot chocolate mix with water or milk, as directed. In my opinion it's best when made with melted chocolate and milk in a pot on the stove. Usually adding a few tiny ingredients like cinnamon, vanilla extract (Small amounts), and/or sugar is good to spice things up. Top a cup of it off with some marshmallows, and you have some very good hot chocolate. Now keep in mind, when cooking it, you don't want too much chocolate compared to milk or vise/versa. It's best when it's at about a caramel consistency. Putting too much chocolate can cause it to attempt to harden over time, or putting too much milk can overpower the taste of the chocolate.
