Nutella Hot Chocolate: FAQs

➡️ Can I make this in the microwave?

Yes! Place milk in a microwave-safe mug and heat until warmed through, but not boiling. Stir in the Nutella. Top with marshmallows or a peppermint stick.

➡️ How can I make this extra creamy?

For an extra creamy recipe, add 1/2 cup heavy cream and increase the Nutella to 1/4 cup.

➡️ Can I substitute water for the milk?

You can, but the result won’t be as creamy.

Use whatever type of milk you prefer or have on hand.

I like to add a peppermint candy cane or a few pumps of peppermint syrup!
