Nothing about this ingredient list involves peanuts or peanut-derived products of any kind, which makes this rich, velvety hot chocolate an easy one to enjoy without a second thought. Whole milk and heavy cream are warmed until steaming, then whisked with cocoa powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt to build a smooth, deeply chocolatey base. Finely chopped dark chocolate melts right into that hot mixture, turning glossy and thick, and a splash of vanilla rounds out the flavor before it's ladled into mugs. Top it with whipped cream or a handful of mini marshmallows and you've got a cozy, classic mug of cocoa that's a solid pick for a peanut free kitchen. It's simple enough for a weeknight treat but indulgent enough to serve when you want something a little special.

Combine the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Add about 2 tbsp of the milk and whisk into a smooth paste with no dry lumps.
Pour in the remaining milk and the heavy cream, then set the saucepan over medium heat. Warm, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is steaming and small bubbles appear around the edges — about 4–5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
