EASY HOT CHOCOLATE
I keep chocolate bars in the spice cabinet for this. Everyone can have their own flavor. On weekends, I'll fill a small crockpot with milk on low, so it's always ready to go. I like Lindt chocolate bars for this - the Cherry Chili, Pepper, and Pomegranate all make for a very special cuppa.)

Steps:
- 1. Finely chop chocolate and place in mug.
- 2. Heat half n half in small saucepan over medium high heat til steaming (don't boil it).
- 3. Pour into mugs over chocolate, stir well.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the hot chocolate will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overheat the milk. Overheating the milk will cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy. Heat the milk until it is just simmering, then remove it from the heat and add the chocolate.
- Use a whisk to stir the chocolate and milk together. This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
- Add flavorings to taste. Some popular flavorings for hot chocolate include vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and peppermint extract.
- Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or grated chocolate. This will make your hot chocolate even more decadent and delicious.
