Fun post. I love Scharffenberger chocolate. I recently bought some commercial sipping chocolate from Trader Joes but haven’t tried it yet. You have inspired me.

Yum! I have The Essence of Chocolate. I just love the Fudgy Brownies. My children are standing here clamoring for hot chocolate for breakfast, and I usually make it similar to the recipe you gave–milk, chocolate, maybe a little sugar depending on the chocolate, a pinch of salt and a bit of vanilla.

If you want the BEST EVER drinking chocolate, find a source for Charbonnel et Walker’s “Chocolat Charbonnel: THE Chocolate Drink.” It comes in white tins and has the distinction of being the Queen of England’s drinking chocolate. The website on the tin is http://www.charbonnel.co.uk
I make hot chocolate for myself and son every morning. I use just a tablespoon (my butt and budget keep me from using more) mixed with just a little milk, heat it in the microwave 30 seconds, whisk, add some more milk, heat another 20 seconds and it’s done. Oh so good.

I’m scared of my own shadow… so you can only imagine how skittish I am around others. One night my husband came home, I was sitting outside and looked in the glass door to see his face looming over me and I was scared… I screamed… but NO sound came out! It was horrible.

Chocolate looks great! I can’t ever finish a full mug of it though. I always hand it over (hanging my head in chocolate shame…). I’m just not a chocolate person.

I JUST made that recipe you provided and topped it off with some Crown Royal for a nice, warm front porch drink in this chilly fall weather.

Fantastic. I also suggest adding a pour of sea salt. Really pops the flavor.
