Hot Chocolate To DIE For! - Twitchin Kitten - 04-06-2008
*I am sticking this because something so decadent should never be lost in a long list of threads!
This is sinful, delicious, not convienient to make, but WELL worth the trouble.
This is NOT Low calories!
Thanks to Frugal Gourmet for this one!

Hot Chocolate To DIE For!
For each cup, in a double boiler, combine:
2 to 3 ounces milk chocolate I use Cadbury candy bars!
1 teaspoon butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Stir together until completely melted and smooth. Then add:
1 cup half and half or cream I use whole milk if the latter is not on hand
Add the half and half slowly, incorporating it gradually as it heats, but do not boil.
Serve over a handful of mini marshmallows and garnish with a dash of nutmeg.
variations:
Substitute dark (semisweet) chocolate or white chocolate (very elegant!).
Try adding liqueurs, ie: Kahlua (for milk chocolate)
Cointreau ( for dark chocolate)
Peppermint Schnapps (for white chocolate)
