Directions

1. Step 1In a medium-sized saucepan, warm milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally so it starts to bubble at the edges but doesn’t burn.
2. Step 2Whisk in the chocolate and sugar, stirring until combined (about 2 minutes).
3. Step 3Keep it at a simmer and lower the temperature if it starts to boil. Once it’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove from heat.
4. Step 4Pour into mugs, topping with marshmallows and shaved chocolate pieces. Garnish with a candy cane.
