Method
In a saucepan, combine the sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, milk powder, and a pinch of salt; stir to mix evenly.
Add the milk to the dry mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Add the dark chocolate and milk chocolate pieces, stirring with a spoon until they melt and blend into the liquid.
Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat and heat for 3‑4 minutes, or until the mixture begins to boil, stirring occasionally.
If a thinner consistency is desired, stir in an additional 1/2 cup milk.
Turn off the heat, pour the hot chocolate into mugs, and top each with whipped cream and grated chocolate.
