Oh my is this ever good. We made this last night for the 2nd time. I’d never had hot chocolate before – only hot cocoa. This is so rich and good. 6 oz in a cup with a candy cane is more than satisfying: http://twitpic.com/7nbiu5

Last night, I just broke the dark chocolate bar (Lindt 70% cocoa) into squares and tossed into heated milk, cream, etc. There was no difference at all — no need to finely chop chocolate. Brought to a boil, then simmered, softly boiling, for 4 minutes.

This recipe is zipping around our family at warp speed – thank you!

I made a drink based on this recipe today, although I went with unsweetened chocolate cause that’s what I had on hand and extra sugar. It was wonderful – but why would you bother chopping the chocolate? It makes perfectly well without the extra mess/effort. Everyone loved it, thanks for sharing!

I’m going to try this with almond milk and coconut cream. I think I can get the same chocolate in this teeny tiny town. My husband will flip! Thanks for the awesome recipe! It’s supposed to snow tonight, so it should be cold enough to enjoy a delightful hot beverage!

Oh my stars….. I must try this as soon as humanly possible! I make a homemade hot cocoa mix every year that is really good, but has a long list of ingredients. It ends up being creamy and rich, but it can get pricey. I bet that this will be my new go-to recipe!

If I could get just *ONE* person to try half whipping the cream for the topping, I would be happy! Try half whipping the cream and pour it over the back of a spoon it will float atop the hot chocolate and each time you take a sip you get cold cream first then warm chocolate. SO good.

This recipe looks fantastic! I like trying different brands of chocolates as the different varieties lend themselves to different “tones” of hot chocolate. Keep the recipes coming!!
