I couldn't pass it up. That's the ringtone I got for my phone last night. No one's called me yet so I'm kinda bummed that I haven't heard it in action but I'll be super excited when I do! :)
So... I made hot chocolate last night. I mean I MADE it! And it was FABULOUS!
Mad props to husband #2 who made the peppermint marshmallows from scratch. It was just one glorious mug of homemade goodness!! :)
Perfect Hot Cocoa (from Food Network Magazine)
Bring 4 cups whole or low-fat milk to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat.
Mix 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 3-4 oz (I used 4, of course) finely chopped bittersweet chocolate in a bowl. (**I didn't have LF or whole milk so I used 2c. skim milk and 2c. Half & Half - turned out fine**)
Wisk mixture into the milk.
Reduce heat to low and simmer stirring until the chocolate melts and the cocoa is thick (about 2 minutes - I did it longer)
Divide among 4 mugs (HA!) and garnish.
