Hot Chocolate?

Question

Does anyone know a really good recipe for hot chocolate? I've been wanting to make some since I do like hot chocolate. And please, don't tell me that I could just buy a packet and put the stuff inside boiling hot water... Thanks for those who are willing to give a recipe!

Heh, weird but good one:

1) Melt 2 Hersheys candy bars in a pan and add a tiny bit of water.
2) Add teaspoon of sugar to the pan and stir.
3) Add a bit of milk and keep stirring.
4) When the mix is just a bit less dense then a syrup, pour into a cup.
5) Fill about a sixteenth of another cup full of the mix.
6) Add milk, warm up, stir and enjoy!

Answer 3

My Mama's way: Hershey's cocoa powder, according to how
much you want to make. But for 4 cups of hot chocolate I do this.
Measure 1/4 cup of cocoa powder into pan, & 3/4 cup of sugar. Mix well then add 1 cup of water. Add 1 tsp of vanilla.
Turn burner on to medium heat, you will need to keep stiring it often. When the mixture is about to boil turn the burner to low and stir in 3 cups of cream( I don't used can cream) taste preference. I buy a quart of cream. It is rich but worth the effort.

Answer 4

I heat my milk in the microwave (enough to fill a coffee cup) and then add 2 to 3 tablespoons of Nestle chocolate powder. Then add one cinnamon stick and a dollop of whipped cream. You can add a cherry if you like. You could use a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder and sugar to taste instead of the Nestle powder. But remember to add enough cold milk to make a paste before adding the warm milk.
