In a small saucepan, add your cocoa powder, sweetener, milk of choice, and vanilla extract. Place it over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Once it begins to boil, remove it from the heat.
Add the chocolate chips and let sit for several minutes, before whisking together.
Pour into two mugs and top with marshmallows and whipped cream.
Notes:
TO STORE: Hot chocolate is best enjoyed fresh, but if you make a bigger batch, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days.
TO MAKE AHEAD: Microwave the hot chocolate in 30-second spurts until warm or reheat in a small saucepan over the stove. Once hot, add marshmallows and/or whipped cream and enjoy.
