Hot Chocolate

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!
