Instructions
Heat milk in a small saucepan or in the microwave until hot but not boiling.
Melt butter in a separate small saucepan on medium heat.
Add dark chocolate to melted butter and stir until completely melted.
Stir in unsweetened cocoa powder.
Whisk in hot milk a little bit at a time.
Whisk in cassonade syrup and continue to heat until mixture is nearly boiling.
Remove from heat and top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or both. Add an extra drizzle of syrup and serve immediately.

Add some vanilla extract for another dimension of flavor.
