Pour 3/4 cup of milk into a medium sized sauce pan and place on medium heat. You want the milk to steam, but not to boil.
Add the chocolate chips and mix until fully melted and combined.
Add in the vanilla, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix.
Pour the rest of the milk into the mixture. Once all the ingredients have been thoroughly incorporated, serve the hot cocoa in a mug of your choice. Top with whip cream (we love Cool Whip) and a cinnamon stick!
