...of The 5 Days of cocoa!
Okay, yesterday's recipe was absolutely tried & true...the cocoa we make on frosty mornings or to warm up before bedtime (houses that have been around 152 years tend to be cold in winter!) My son once called it, "Cocoa made with love." Ahhh...
The recipe for a Day Two is also tried & true...the difference? It is oh-so rich! (Don't let the fact that it has almost a cup chocolate chips in it turn you away...am I the only one who has tossed at least that many chocolate chips in my mouth "just because"?)
Go ahead and substitute milk chocolate or white chocolate if you'd like, and even try peppermint extract for a new flavor.
If you're looking for something special, this recipe is yummy!
Rich Hot Cocoa...
2/3 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips (3-4 oz.)
1 t. butter
1/4 t. vanilla extract
1 c. half-and-half or cream
Combine first three ingredients in a saucepan or double boiler over medium heat; stir until melted and smooth. Stir in half-and-half or cream; blending slowly. Do not boil. When heated through, pour into a mug and garnish with a dollop of marshmallow cream. Serves one.
Oh Mary, you're a girl after my heart with this one!!!
