Mine did not look like that.
It didn't mix well. I can only assume popping the milk in the microwave as a shortcut didn't work.
I'll have to try again the proper way tonight.

Yeah, not microwave friendly, but really good prepared according to directions. You have to have patience. Melting the puck in a little milk over relatively low heat and then adding milk slowly as you increase temperature will help also.

This took about 15 minutes to make. I left the milk on low-med in the Calphalon pot. It takes a while for the chocolate to dissolved. Then you stir constantly.

we had that variety pack a few years back. seems like the weirder flavors ended up never getting made. i think we got them from costco so check around, they are much cheaper there than amazon.

Swiss Miss, with a double shot of Bailey's Irish Cream. I know there is a chocolate version of Irish Cream. That would be nice, too.
Try it with peppermint schnapps instead...tastes like one of these

For a product that's available from almost any grocer, their dark chocolate version is quite tasty.
Holy hell I didn’t know this existed. Headed to the grocery tonight!

I tried it again stovetop and it was great! I’m a fan now!
My sister in law, who is not a big drinker, asked me if we should add fireball to it
Might have been tempted if I had any.

Give me the cheap Swiss Miss with marshmallows.

My wife makes it from scratch, no idea exactly how but it's the best. Cocoa, milk, sugar, vanilla. Maybe something else, I don't know. A microwave. Worked perfect for walking the neighborhood tonight and way better than candy.

Frangelico or Praline liqueur is your friend here. Amaretto is nice too

One of mom’s old friends used to add a teaspoon of whipped topping to her cup of hot chocolate…
then she would eat the entire container of Cool Whip before she finished the 1st cup.

Here's a little trick of mine...add some powdered coffee creamer to the hot chocolate mix. I usually do about a tablespoon per pack. Makes it taste creamy and you can still use hot water!

I like to add a packet of powdered hot chocolate to a cup of black coffee...good stuff!

I had some Peppermint Hot Choc a few yrs ago as a gift. Was excellent. can't remember the name but it's a big brand. just flakes of chocolate in milk.
don't do dairy know though. bummer.

Friend,
I was in the middle of eating a nice batch of Ikura this evening when I realized no one had checked the mail today. So I ran to our box and waiting was a box in the shape of a cube. It was from New Mexico, so I knew what it had to be.
The packaging was at the same time professional and remarkably cottage-industry. The outer packing was fancy golden foamed stuff that looked like it could be from the NASA space shuttle. Inside it were three pouches contained within a humble large Ziploc bag, which I kept for future use.
On top was a sweet postcard from the company thanking me for the purchase. Handwritten, it was the sort of touch most chocolatiers miss. The packages are cute and I believe each has enough drinking chocolate for six cups of hot chocolate. Directions include mixing 3 ounces of hot water with two teaspoons of the chocolate mix.
Following Coater's flowing praise, I chose the Chili. On the back I noted its second biggest ingredient is coconut sugar. I had never heard of this before, requiring me to inquire about what it is. From a few articles online it seems it is essentially just another type of sugar made from coconut sap. It has just as much sugar as granulated sugar. In preparation for Front Day I have been in ketosis all week, and have dropped 15 pounds in the process, so I was wary to try any due to the sugar. But I did the math and weighed the mix, and the most possible carbs it could contain were 9 grams. I can deal with that as my carb intake today was 0.
I microwaved the water and then put it in a Max Brenner Hug Mug and added the mix and stirred. The pellets are reminiscent of the Nescafe coffee mix widely used in the United Kingdom. I always take tea when offered tea or coffee while in the UK, partly because they use Nescafe almost exclusively in the home, but mostly because I do not drink coffee at all. And whenever biscuits are offered, I always ask for Tunnock's teacakes, the best tea accompaniment in the world.
The first sip was biting and sweet. I liked it. The more I drank it, however, the zippy, peppery flavor began to overpower it. While it had a subtle undertone of sweetness, the chili powder within definitely muscled its way to the front of the flavor queue. I will offer it to some of our guests at this year's Front Day festivities on Saturday, but will do so with a warning. This is not your typical, sweet and cuddly drinking chocolate. This is a spicy, kick in the mouth. Be prepared.
Yours,
TulaneLSU
