"Snuggler" Hot Chocolate (Recipe)

Nothing beats a cup of hot chocolate on a chilly winter's eve. Here is the recipe for the best ever.  And also the simplest.

SNUGGLER Hot Chocolate
1 liter milk (1 3/4 pints)
200g Dark Chocolate (I use Finnish Fazer TALOUS SUKLA) (or 7 oz of chocolate chips)

Heat milk on stove until almost a boil (don't burn it)
Break up the chocolate bar and stir until it melts



Take off heat

Perfection is adding a scoop of Peppermint Ice Cream
If you dont have that, add Vanilla Ice Cream, Marshmallows, or a dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with a touch of cocoa.

Stir with a candy cane.

We have also added to the hot chocolate:
Cinnamon (Mexican Hot Chocolate)
Chili Powder (Wonderful fire and unexpected surprise)
Crushed Cardamom + Cinnamon (Finnish twist)

I've also added powdered sugar, Vanilla, and either Rum or Peppermint extract to heavy cream to beat up a killer whipped cream.

Enjoy!
