Instructions
Heat the Cream
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer around the edges. Do not allow it to fully boil or the chocolate may seize when added.
Melt the Chocolate
Remove the cream from heat and immediately add the chocolate chips. Let them sit undisturbed for 90 seconds, then stir slowly from the center outward until completely smooth.
Add Flavor
Whisk in the hot chocolate powder, vanilla extract, and pinch of sea salt until fully incorporated and the dip is glossy and smooth with no lumps.
Serve Warm
Transfer to a serving bowl or small slow cooker set to warm. Serve immediately with marshmallows, pretzel rods, strawberries, and graham crackers for dipping.
