If it’s snowing where you’re at, like it’s snowing where I’m at, you’ll appreciate this…
I’m pretty sure that all this time you thought you knew what a mug of hot chocolate was supposed to taste like. But I’ll tell you something–if you’ve been pouring a small packet of dry powder into a cup and adding really hot water, perhaps…you don’t. In fact, from this day forth, you are liable to look on such a practice as complete hot chocolate blasphemy.
In the book The Polar Express, they described what the children drank on the train, as, “…hot cocoa as thick and rich as melted chocolate bars.”
Now we’re talking…
Candy Bar Hot Chocolate
Instructions
6 ounces Symphony chocolate, chopped
2 cups milk
Place the milk and chopped chocolate in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently to keep chocolate from staying at the bottom of the pan and getting too hot. If you like foam, stir with a whisk just until mixture gets steamy hot. Do not let it boil. Remove from heat. Add a dollop of whip cream to the bottom of a mug. Pour in hot chocolate.
Now, go sit down and put your feet up. You’re really going to love this.

Oooh. That sounds good. You can’t ever go wrong with a Symphony bar! 😉 Where was I when you were trying this recipe out?!? 🙂
Fast asleep on the couch. I was very quiet. It kept me from having to share…heh, heh, heh…
Ohhh… I see how it is! 😉 Well… I guess we’ll just have to try the recipe out again… you know, to make sure you worked out all the kinks! 😉
Thank you for your lovely website. I recently found it and I am glad I did. It is a calm and serene place to come to. I love that you are a lady of faith and proud of it. Me, too!

Oh my… that does sound heavenly! (*NOT* that I am one of those who’s “been pouring a small packet of dry powder into a cup and adding really hot water”… YUCK! But this does sound pretty dang good!) 🙂
You–my dear are very sweet. I’m glad you are here with us. Welcome, welcome!
Well, I’m quite certain that I’ve had way too many of those little packets in my life. This is definitely worth the extra effort. Yum.
