The holidays are quickly approaching, and we're sharing some recipes the team here at Spectrum News 1 enjoys this time of year.

In this year's first installment of "Holidays at Home," Cam Jandrow puts on his apron and shows you an easy drink the whole family will love.

Ingredients:

  • 12 oz. whole milk
  • 4 oz. heavy cream
  • 6 to 8 0z. dark chocolate
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 tbsp. powdered sugar (optional)

Recipe:

Step 1: Chop all of your chocolate as fine as possible.

Step 2: Add milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to a pot and put on medium-low heat. Do not boil the mixture.

Step 3: When you start to see bubbles form along the edges, add all of your chocolate to the pot.

Step 4: Gently stir in the chocolate until completely dissolved and smooth. This is also where you can add some powdered sugar if additional sweetness is desired.

Step 5: Pour into your favorite mug, and add whipped cream or whatever toppings you'd like.

Step 6: Let cool slightly, and enjoy!
