Tips
If you want to make the hot chocolate extra creamy, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk. However, this will increase the calorie count and fat content.
If you don’t have white chocolate chips, you can use a white chocolate bar instead. Just chop it into small pieces before adding it to the milk.
If you want to make the drink more festive, you can use colored sprinkles or edible glitter instead of regular sprinkles.
