Hot chocolate. The epitome of comfort food during the cold months. There is nothing better then a warm mugful of the tasty treat that satisfies your need for warmth, sweet and chocolate craving all in one fell swoop!
I have previously posted how to make Hot Chocolate from scratch (using milk). It’s a treat, a real treat!
But… if you’d like to make a hot chocolate mix (like the store brands) that is healthier (because it’s minus the strange ingredients) that you mix with water, just like the pouch you buy at the store, Alton Brown from the Food Network came up with a recipe to make it quick and easy.
This recipe received five stars by all those who reviewed it… that’s the highest… how convenient to whip it up yourself!
