Warm milk slowly with low heat as to not burn in bottom of pan. Remember LOW heat! add Hershey's Chocolate syrup and enjoy. Oveltine isn't bad either. Another thing to try is to melt actual Hershey's Chocolate bars and slowly add a Little milk to it, very little milk. It's kind like drinking liquid chocolate. They something like it at Starbucks.
