My thoughts:
This is the espresso of hot chocolate. Very dark, very rich and very thick. I am a serious chocolate lover with a very high tolerance for richness and even I could only handle one tiny cup full. I used 3 oz of a plain dark chocolate bar but an interesting variation would be to use Mexican chocolate or a mint infused bar instead. french
That is my kind of drink! But then again, I thought the same thing about your kiwi smoothy… I like a lot of things.
i love it!
and also…you have the most beautiful plates/dishes/cups/saucers…wow!
That sounds fantastically rich! There might not be any better substance on this earth than dark chocolate 🙂
Yummy for my tummy. I also love the cup & saucer! Please share where you purchased it.
Wow, sounds decadent!
Thanks! I posted about the cup and saucer here.

Yum! Reminds me of the now long gone Chantico at Starbucks.

That’s what I was thinking when I made it! I was going to mention that, but I was worried I was the only one who remembered that drink-honestly the only thing I’ve ever had at a Starbucks!
OMFG that sounds and looks so darn DECADENT! Yum!!!
One little cup is fine when it’s this decadent and divine!
I recently made hot chocolate. Yours looks great! Love the photo, too!
Paz
Yes! Before I saw maggi’s comment, I was thinking Chantico, too. Sounds decadent!
Check out the Surreal Goumet’s recipe for Hot Chocolate for Consenting Adults! it is a wonderful variation and creme de menthe adds a little additional warmth- you can have it as a dessert.
Oh man, that sounds daaaaaaaaangerous. Like chocolate quicksand. Just gimme a straw and I think I’ll go drown in it 😉
That is the cutest little cup and saucer set I’ve ever seen! I want a whole set of those! 🙂
I can’t wait to try this!!
