Chef's notes
Use a chocolate bar instead of cocoa powder for a creamier texture and extra-rich flavor.
Choose a vegan chocolate bar to make this recipe vegan.
Bourbon is optional but adds a fun touch for a cozy grown-up drink.
Serve with coconut whipped cream, regular whipped cream, or marshmallows for extra indulgence.
