- Heat the cream and milk: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and milk. Heat until warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scalding.

- Transfer to a serving bowl: Pour the hot chocolate dip into a serving bowl. If desired, top with mini marshmallows or a dollop of whipped cream for extra sweetness and a festive touch.
- Serve warm: Arrange an assortment of dippers around the serving bowl. Popular choices include cookies, fresh fruits, pretzels, and even pieces of cake or brownies.
