Hi JPerez! First, I would like to thank you for your great review of my Baked Beans Don't Get Any Better Than This. I am so glad you enjoyed them. To show my appreciation, I decided to make one of YOUR recipes. WOW...am I glad I did. We absolutely LOVED this hot chocolate. It has been pretty cold here and it really hit the spot. Quick and easy too. Will be making this over and over again,. Thanks for sharing it.

Yummy. I made the basic recipe and liked it better than Starbucks because it was not as sweet as theirs (although adding the syrups for the snickers version would certainly add sweetness). It tastes quite a bit like what my Grandma used to stir up for us on her stove top many years ago. She always added a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. The microwave instructions make it quick and easy. I'll be teaching my teens to stir this together. That will save us from some of the chemicals in those pre-packaged cocoa drinks and from the high prices at Starbucks. Thanks JPerez.

Great hot chocolate! Better than Starbucks because I can make it at home!!!! Love it! I used Soy Milk (Lactose intolerant) and Splenda. It was still delicious! Made for Comfort Cafe 09.
