Yum. I a convert of making my own hot chocolate. My friend SB recently blogged about how “it’s basically as easy/quick, yet much tastier” to make one’s own hot chocolate. I’ll agree with her on the second point, but not the first. However, while it is significantly more involved and time consuming to make cocoa from scratch, it’s still super easy and super fast…and super worth it.
As per my usual, I didn’t actually measure anything. Thus, I can’t comment on her exact recipe. I CAN (and will!) say that it is a great guide. I really liked the kick from the cinnamon; it was NOT too much. Try it. You’ll love us both. Recipe is here .
This would probably work well in a crockpot, for a larger group or thirsty/cold friends. I would probably melt the chocolate in a saucepan, for faster results. It would require an extra pan, but I think that is worth it to avoid melting chocolate in a crock.
Warning: This is super rich and makes Swiss Miss look/taste/smell like dirty water.
Warning #2: NO RUM FOR KIDS.
