When I was young, we used to visit our family friends in Concord, Massachusetts. It would snow and be freezing and Patricia would take out the snowman mugs and the container of chocolate powder and tiny marshmallows, and make us delicious hot chocolate.
I can also flash back to the many ski trips I had out west. The kids would be in ski school while the adults combed the mountain. On our many breaks out of the cold, there was always hot chocolate. I can just smell it by recalling the memory. But that hot chocolate is made from powder. This hot chocolate, it isn’t.
Smooth dark chocolate, whole milk and maybe a touch of cream… maybe some non-traditional spices? Topped with whipped cream and candy cane crumble? Perfect for freezing cold night.
