RICH HOT CHOCOLATE FOR ONE
I make this perfectly rich and easy hot chocolate for myself most mornings. It's lowfat, sugar free, and I'd rather the antioxidants from this versus caffeine from coffee. This is way better than those questionable, hardly chocolatey, who-knows-whats-in-them packets.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cacao content of 70% or higher will give you a rich, decadent hot chocolate.
- Milk or water can be used to make hot chocolate. If you use milk, it will be creamier and richer. If you use water, it will be lighter and less sweet.
- If you like your hot chocolate extra thick and creamy, add a tablespoon of cornstarch or cocoa powder to the milk before heating it.
- Sweeten your hot chocolate to taste. You can use sugar, honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar.
- Flavor your hot chocolate with your favorite spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger. You could even add a pinch of chili powder for a Mexican-inspired hot chocolate.
- Top your hot chocolate with whipped cream, marshmallows, or grated chocolate for a special treat.
Conclusion:
Hot chocolate is a delicious and comforting drink that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a cold winter day or as a sweet treat after dinner. With so many different ways to make it, there's sure to be a hot chocolate recipe that everyone will love.
