Good Morning Everyone,
Today I am sharing with you two treats we like to have here in our home. I think that you will love these and with a little Christmas music playing in the background they make get you in the spirit of the season.
The first one is Frozen Hot Chocolate; I love to make this and top it with Whipped Cream and crushed chocolate mint candies.
1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips
2 Tablespoons Butter
2 Packages of prepackaged hot chocolate mix
2 tablespoons of sugar
3 cups of milk
3 cups of ice
In the top half of a double boiler place Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips and White Chocolate Chips, butter, prepackaged hot chocolate mix and sugar stirring constantly until the chocolate and butter begin to melt. Slowly add 1/2 cup of milk to the mixture continuing to stir until you have a creamy mixture.....try your best not to dip your finger in :)
In a blender mix together ice and the chocolate mixture. Add about half of the milk and blend until ice begins to crush, add the remaining milk and blend until you have the consistency of a frozen drink.
Pour into a glass and garnish with any or all of the following:
Whipped Cream
Crushed Peppermint candy
Chocolate shavings
Marshmallows
Santa likes his "Hot Chocolate" hot, so this is the recipe I make for him.
1/2 cup of chopped chocolate candy with mint, I use Andes chocolates
1/2 cup of Semi Sweet chocolate chips
1 small can condensed milk
2 tablespoons Hershey's Coco Powder
1 1/2 cups milk
In the top half of a double boiler place both the chopped candy and the chocolate chips and half of the can of condensed milk. Stir constantly until chocolate begins to melt and smooth, add the remaining condensed milk and continue to stir until you have a creamy smooth mixture. Transfer to a small boiler and add the 1 1/2 cup of milk stirring until combined well. Top with marshmallows or whipped cream.
Enjoy!

Countdown to Christmas
Hello girls and boys,
Are you getting into the Christmas spirit yet? The time is coming quickly and your letters and cards have been filing Santa's desk so full that they are spilling out onto the floor. He reads each and every one of them and he loves to hear how good you have all been all year long. We have our tree up and the stockings are hung by the fireplace which is keeping us warm and toasty as the snow falls outside our window.
Thanksgiving is coming up in about a couple of weeks but Christmas is already in full force around here!
Mrs Claus is spending this weekend making some lovely stockings for some boys and girls. I have a Koala, a Polar Bear, Deer, Owls, Stars, Snowmen, and a special one for a precious baby who will be born very soon!
It makes Mrs. Claus very happy to have her stockings hang in your homes. I feel very blessed to be a part of your Christmas!
Merry Christmas,
Mrs. Claus
