Notes:

  1. Full-fat oat milk is important. Any other type of oat milk will result in a thinner, less creamy hot cocoa.

I never tried full fat oat milk before this recipe... this is the BOMB! Great for those cold, rainy nights when all you want to do is snuggle up in a blanket with a book and sip on a decadent cup of hot chocolate!
