We feel that any other way of making Hot Chocolate should just curl up and die. We use to make this with 2 cups of whole milk and 2 cups of heavy cream, but that seemed silly.
4 cups of half & half
4 ounces of chocolate (the best you can afford...Ghirardelli or any chocolate bar you like)
Sugar to taste
Dollop of heavy cream
1. Coarsely chop the chocolate and place in a 4-cup microwavable container with a spout. Add half & half.
2. Zap in microwave for 3 minutes. Whisk.
3. Zap for another 1 or 2 minutes. Whisk.
4. Pour into mugs and add sugar to taste. Add dollop of cream to each cup.
