# How To Make It:
01 - Combine whole milk and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Warm until steaming but do not boil.
02 - Whisk in chopped bittersweet chocolate, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Continue whisking until chocolate fully melts and mixture is smooth.

06 - Press the marshmallow mixture into a parchment-lined small dish to a 1/2-inch thickness. Let it cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars.
07 - Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top each with a marshmallow bar, allowing it to float and soften slightly into the beverage.
