2011 January — A Southern Fairytale

This recipe took me by surprise.

I don’t drink chocolate milk.
I don’t enjoy chocolate milk.

I don’t like white chocolate. at. all.

Dark chocolate or go home.

For the past 3 years I’ve seen tons of homemade hot chocolate mix recipes floating around the internet and they’ve always piqued my interest but, they’ve never tempted me enough that I’ve actually wanted to make my own.

UNTIL.

I stumbled across this one

She used the words ‘thick and creamy and super chocolatey‘ right there, she had me, she told me that this hot chocolate wasn’t like the traditional thin, watery, hot chocolate milk that most of us are used to.

This was going to be a rich, decadent, tonguegasmic treat

Something that you don’t just drink, you savor.

Hot chocolate is not something that’s consumed frequently down here.

However, last week — the temperatures finally dipped below the 60 F mark

They dipped into the frigid ~~holy hail this is cold~~ range

That kind of cold means that even Diet Dr Pepper must take a back seat and since I don’t drink coffee (eeeeeeewwwwwww) hot chocolate it must be.

I won’t do packets, especially packets that ask you to mix with water — SERIOUSLY. just STOP.

So, I pulled her recipe back up.. made a change or two to adapt for my dark chocolate lovin’ soul and —-

y’all

oh. mah. holy. hell.

you’re welcome.
