Chocolate anyone?

[rascal]

As a fan of hot chocolate I found this interesting. So much work went into making what’s now an easy to make, common beverage.
Who are our hot chocolate lovers and haters on here I wonder?

How chocolate became the winter beverage of choice

My wife doesn't drink tea or coffee. Hot water or hot choc. Every weekend.
I'm an earl grey tea guy. With the odd coffee .

Try this hot chocolate. The best I've ever had.

Recipe - Great hot chocolate

I'm not going to that much trouble to make hot choc for wife. Teaspoon powder into cup . Hot water. Like it or lump it. Lol

We already use the Keurig for Coffee and Tea, so ...

It fits without saying that I have to be very careful with hot chocolate and what's in it because most have dairy in them.

I used to get a lovely Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate in the UK.

Since moving to Australia, I now get this one.

The blinds are closed and lights off at the nonentity, so the brown isn't that rich chocolate brown in the photos. Add you can see there is very little sugar in it. I typically have to add a little extra sugar using unsweetened soy milk.

I do love a good hot chocolate - it’s one of the beverages that is provided at my office (along with coffee [we have a fancy-pants espresso machine], and a variety of teas).

I like to make it from scratch, but if I’m feeling lazy I’ll use the packet stuff. Also like to add a glug or three of booze for an adult beverage.

One of the only nice things about having a cast on my leg last year was in the mornings on vacation - I’d wake up, crutch myself out to the living room, and husband would bring me a hot chocolate and a strudel for breakfast.
