For a more complex chocolate flavor, Fabienne Soulies of LA-bakery Pitchoun uses a mix of dark and milk chocolate with cocoa powder that she stirs directly into the warming milk. Spiced with ground cinnamon and garnished with a cinnamon stick, this pot of chocolate deliciousness is perfect for the holidays. Soulies notes that added sugar isn’t necessary as it’s already built into the milk chocolate bar, but, if you like yours on the sweeter side, feel free to add sugar to the mixture. Garnish with cinnamon sticks to use as stirrers.
