Whisk in 2 tbsp cocoa powder and 2 tbsp sugar until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes, until smooth.
Step 3
Add 2 oz chocolate chunks and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Stir constantly over low heat until chocolate melts, about 3 minutes, until the mixture is glossy and thick.

Remove from heat and discard cinnamon sticks. Taste and add more sugar if needed.
