How to Make It
1. Step
Roughly chop the chocolate.
2. Step
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the milk, chocolate, brown sugar, chiles, and cinnamon stick. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and well combined, 10–12 minutes.
3. Step
Drizzle the cajeta around the rim of an oven-safe mug, letting a little bit drip down the outside.
4. Step
Carefully strain the hot chocolate through a fine-mesh sieve into the mug. Stir in the vanilla. Spoon the marshmallow fluff on top.
5. Step
Using a hard torch, carefully toast the top of the marshmallow fluff until golden brown. Shave more chocolate on top, if desired.
